hi annjay.... its ok to travel outside Phil. Like sa case ko i went back to US while waiting for PPR then after 6mos they asked for PPR so I sent it to CEM via FEDEX & gave relative's address in manila for my pp return. CEM returned my passport w/ visa after 2wks of PPR... somewhat very risky for me since im here in US w/o holding any passport, so i requested my mother when they receive it to mail the pp to me asap & spent 8K pesos for express delivery & worthy nman bec i rcv my pp back w/ maple leaf on it
