If you lose your passport in the Philippines, must the embassy reissue it?

A: Not necessarily. In addition to the passport, it may also be a travel permit or a return certificate.

In the Philippines, if we want to reissue a passport, unless we hold a long-term visa from the Philippines, if we hold a 9G work visa, 13A marriage visa, immigration visa, etc., we can only reissue a passport if we hold these visas. If you hold a short-term visa, if you have a tourist visa or a business visa, then the replacement is a travel permit. There is also a case of replacement is the return certificate, this is generally for special groups of people, such:

The person is in the Philippines, but there is an outstanding case in China;

② People in the Philippines, repeatedly received domestic police advice to return but ignored;

③ Personal passport/household registration status has been canceled by the local police due to various reasons.

In the above three cases, the replacement is basically a certificate of return.
