    Question Residence stamp at old passport

    Hello, I have renewed passport, but my UK residence stamp is still valid is in my old passport, to transfer will cost me a lot and time..I want to go back home on Christmas.
    Can I travel from Philippine back to UK showing both passport??? According to UK immigration, it says that I can enter UK provided that I have to bring 2 passports with me, Is this statement is valid to Philippine immigration? they are the one who check before u can board in the aircraft.. Thanks

    It's an accepted practice in most countries and often you can attach the passports together with a rubber band, although some people glue them together.
    It is still annoying that the Philippines government still only issues 5 year passports, particularly with so many OFW!!!!
