I'd applied for a passport when I was in school, and didn't have an ECNR stamp, since I wasn't a degree holder at the time. I'd traveled on my passport before, so I got a rude shock when I wasn't allowed to go to the Philippines in 2004. Is the ECNR regime still on? And does it apply even for 3 year old kids traveling with ECNR certified parents?

I suspect a vast majority of the countries did not know what this "chaapa" on the passport meant. Thaths -- Homer: Hey, what does this job pay? Carl: Nuthin'. Homer: D'oh!
