I'm a Filipino passport holder. And I'm planning to go to Bogota, Colombia from Vietnam with a layover in Istanbul for 21 hours. Question is do I need transit visa in Istanbul?

No, according to Timatic, the system used by airlines, you do not need a transit visa for Turkey.
To enter Colombia you must have a machine readable passport that is valid for the intended period of stay, and proof of accommodation.

So, I don't need any Visa for a layover in Istanbul. By the way, I'll be flying with Turkish Airlines from Vietnam to Bogota, Colombia. Another question, do my checked in luggage follows through my final destination? Or do I need to pick it up in Istanbul and then check it in again? Thank you for answering!– lexiCommented Aug 25, 2019 at 11:43
