Yes, we can visit our new “cousins.” since Filipinos can travel visa-free to Brazil with just a plane ticket and an itinerary. Philippine passport holders can visit the country for 90 days.
Thanks to the Paris 2024 Olympics, Brazilians and Filipinos formed a stronger bond and have officially started calling each other ‘cousins’ online.
Carlos Yulo’s historic double gold win in men’s gymnastics had Brazilians proclaiming, “A Filipino won a gold medal, and it's gold for Brazil, too, because we are cousins.”
The sentiment was echoed when Filipino fans celebrated Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade's vault gold, declaring it a "Brazilippines" victory.
“The Philippines and Brazil were put in two separate continents because God knew we'd be too powerful together,” said one netizen on X.
So what can you say about visiting our new cousins this year?
