She can still use her old green passport as long as it is not yet expired. here is an advisory from the Phil embassy in london for your info


Advisory: Guidelines on Philippine Passport Issuance Starting 01 April 2010
19 January 2010
(19 January 2010) -- The Philippine Embassy informs the public that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has set 31 March 2010 as the last day allowed for ICAO member countries to issue non-Machine Readable Passports.

In view of this, the Department of Foreign Affairs, all Philippine Embassies and Consulates General, and DFA Regional Consular Offices in the Philippines will issue only Machine Readable Passports starting 01 April 2010. The green emergency passport will no longer be issued starting 01 April 2010.

The Philippine Embassy in London has been issuing Machine Readable Passports since mid-2008.

In case of applicants with lost or expired passports and the holder needs to urgently travel to the Philippines, s/he may be issued a One-Way Travel Document and then the applicant can apply for a Machine Readable Passport or an E-Passport in the DFA Main Office in Manila or in any of the DFA Regional Consular Officers.

The DFA reminds members of the public holding the green Philippine passport that these remain valid until the expiration date indicated therein. Members of the public who wish to switch to the Machine Readable Passport may likewise do so at any time even before the expiration date of their green passports.

For those who wish to secure an E-passport, currently this type of passport may only be obtained at the DFA Head Office in Pasay City.

Winning the appeal is definitely not the end of the hardwork and expenses.... it's the start of a new chapter...

I wish the UK Embassy in the Philippines will send the call in letter or call my daughter soon.

I just hope my daughter will be allowed to travel by herself and will not have any problems w/ the immigration in the Philippines.

Follow-up question, since there is a change in the Philippine Passport, i was wondering if my daughter has to change her passport to machine readable passport? or maybe she can still travel with the old green passport.....OMG, never ending questions and another sets of worries.....thank you all for your help and patience...
