Passport applications from the time when the Philippines as an "insular possession" of the U.S.A.are now available online. The documents are quite interesting, especially the attached photos. But one has to see what an actual passport looked like.That issued in Rome to National artist Guillermo Tolentino in 1924 is larger than an A4 sheet!.
