Update (March 30, 2008): Online passport processing is now available for first time applicants, please read this post for details: Apply for New Philippine Passport Online
At last, renewing and applying for a passport in the Philippines is now much easier. Passport application through the DFA Passport Appointment System by Internet is now available for Filipinos.Through this online passport application system, people who want to file passport applications can set an appointment with the DFA via the internet instead of waking up very early to be able to transact for their passport in the DFA offices or pay for more when availing the help of travel agencies.
The DFA Passport Appointment System is initially available for
- those whose passports have already expired;
- those whose passport will be expiring within the next one year; and
- senior citizens
The DFA appointment system will reportedly be available to all passport applicants in the future.
Passport applicants can apply for an appointment by sending a request to appointment@dfa.go.ph with the following details:
• Full name (first name, middle name and surname);
• Date of birth;
• Place of birth;
• Latest Passport Number and Date of Issuance
Passport applicants will then be sent a reference number and a confirmation which will include details of designated date and time for the filing of the passport application at the DFA-Passport Office.
For more details, visit DFA.gov.ph

@ Jolaz’ comment (pahabol) “I wonder why in Iloilo DFA they are sending the passport to Manila for the renewal, why dont they advice to go for online application”:
Honestly, I believe some DFA people may not even know online application/renewal of passport already exists. Isa pa, marami pa rin internet illiterate sa Pilipinas including those who have already gone abroad kaya siguro ina assume din ng mga dfa people that Filipinos will still prefer “lakad dito pila doon” passport application.

Naku, pag me nakita kang site na less than 25 days wag ka maniwala don. As I have mentioned, CENTRALIZED na ang pag gawa ng passport.
Update: Processing time of Passport application/renewal and other matters discussed in this article may change and may depend on the DFA. My answers here depend on what I know. Please verify all information with the DFA.

Rakel,
It will NOT be possible to get a passport in 7 days Rakel. Minimum is now 15 days. I am not sure if this has also changed to 25 days (one travel agent just told me a week ago it is now 25 days).
