This recognition process worked for my cousin. Both his parents were already naturalized US citizens at time of his birth. He obtained his dual after his own parents reacquired their Filipino citizenship. STILL have to do the other processes to qualify for Filipino recognition. It does work. Just have to try and get the consulate to work it
What are the other processes? I am beginning my process and my situation is as your cousin: my father was already naturalized at the time of my birth in the US. TIA for your response.
I think your cousin's recognition stemmed from his parents' having reacquired their filipino citizenship. Different from what grandpa vlogger is discussing regarding the announcement in PH embassy in NY.
was your cousin under 18? or over 18? I am in similar position but not sure how to do it. Please help by saying the exact steps and which consulate he used?
@@gabriellemolina any update on this? I am in similar position and want to get my dual citizenship but my Filipino born mother was US citizen at time of my birth :(
Sadly my Filipino mom became a US citizen before I was born and my dad is a white American. So i can never obtain recognition by descent with the Philippines. It’s unfair. I couldn’t control my mom’s decision. I wish the Philippines would give a path for people in my situation.
Bro 😎 I read there will be a standardized Passport 💉 Vaccine soon to be require for travelers either by land, sea and air travel. IATA has been working with the US federal level to organize such certification. I am forwarding this info to you as a good messenger to help our kababayan. For more info check IATA.Org.

It only means those employees in Philippine Consulate, regardless of location, could care less about inquiries regarding Philippine Immigration laws, or, they are unaware or don’t know anything about it. Useless having Consulates in foreign countries funded by taxpayer money.
One can apply for recognition even if born in the US. I was able to gain Filipino recognition because both my parents are Filipino citizens when I was born. The process is convoluted and you may need assistance from a specialist. You will need to prepare your documents ahead of time. YOu will need supporting documents to prove your parents are/were indeed Filipinos when you were born in the US. Be patient but be persistent and follow up.
If the child was born in the US and both parents are already naturalized US citizen at the time of child’s birth, but later One or both parents reacquire the Philippine Citizenship (Dual Citiship), can the child be considered to be a dual citizen at birth and have their births reported to the Philippine Embassy/Consulate as a Filipino citizen
Is it really accurate that to apply for Recognition of Filipino Citizenship the applicant needs to do it in person at the Bureau of Immigration in Manila? This is what the New York consulate advises. It sounds a bit silly to me that a person will have to expend thousands of dollars just to get to Manila, pay for food and lodging, and hope that they can expedite their application. Would anyone know for sure?
hello po sir meron po ako Filipino recognition certificate mula po nuon 2020 my question is am i a filipino citizen or is it just a recognition kasi mag aaply po ako bago passport dito sa europe kaso nakalagay po kung my dual citizen po ako eh datin european citizen lang po as my father is european and im natural born dito sa europe po thank you to who will answer
Money making business at the expense of clueless victims. We already know how Philippines deal with it and how weak their laws that you cannot file a lawsuit against the Philippine government because of this.
I personally have this recognition. I was wondering (not sure if it’s already covered in the comments) as a “recognized” citizen, does this allow you to acquire a Philippine passport?
Here in Hawaii I applied as dual and I applied my son as derivative but they told me that I cannot because I am US Citizen when I gave birth to him. They just told me that I will apply for the Recognition in Philippines when we are there. I research for the requirements and one of if is affidavit that one parent is Filipino at the time of birth. I feel sad about it so I am thinking if we move to Philippines I will apply for the permanent resident for my son. I may see an immigration lawyer if needed.
any update on this? which documents did they ask for? I am in similar situation born in US to Philippines born mother who became US citizen before my birth. I hope there is way. I am thinking maybe if I got to New York consulate they will approve me since their website it can?
FYI , grandma , FYI , I know somebody who went to the Philippines with USA passport and dual paperwork’s . As you said Philippines rules is not clear . But it’s safe to have both Philippines and USA passport. Thanks for your information today. 🙏🙏🙏
3:31 Actually the BI is expanding their criteria to include those children born outside the Philippines to enable this group to qualify for dual citizenship even after their parent (born in the PI ) and who are naturalized US citizens when these children were born. Not necessarily requiring their parents to have obtained dual citizenship to re-qualify them. So why question them and confuse us?
No you can't. Until the Philippine Consulate answers my question which they undeniably avoided, and while the Philippine Embassy in the Philippines said you can't, then I would say you can't. If you are aware of anyone who is able to do that, let me know with facts, please.
This recognition process worked for my cousin. Both his parents were already naturalized US citizens at time of his birth. He obtained his dual after his own parents required Filipino citizenship. Have to do the other process to qualify for Filipino recognition. It does work. Just have to try and get the consulate to work it
I hope this is true Francis Tham but I dont know the steps needed for it? how can adult child of filipino born mother who because US citizen before time of birth get passport?
Yes it's true. My Dad was naturalized while he was stationed in Hawaii. Married my Mom whom was naturalized as well. I got my dual citizenship through recognition while using my GI BILL in the Philippines way back in 2006.
They were Naturalized a couple of months after I was born. So your premise in both, or at least one parent being Filipino citizen for child to be recognized is true. Love your vlogs. Lots of great information (facts)
Im a US citizen born in saipan,both of my parents are filipinos,i grew up here in the philippines,i have a US passport and a document from the bureau of immigration recognizing me as a filipino citizen
Nice video!! Very engaging from beginning to end. Nevertheless, businesses and investment are the easiest way to make money irrespective of which party makes it to the oval office.
Questionp po. Looking at immigration website for recognition of filipino citizenship. There’s a fee of 12,550. However when asking a lawyer for help. They say thst there’s a separate payment for DOJ. Please help what is that for? Why the immigration not putting the whole details on their website?
When it comes to the world of investing,most people don't know where to start.fortunately,great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance.
I’m your avid fan, I’m hoping you can answer my question . My 19 year old son was born in the Philippines , but he was also US citizen by birth because of his American father. My question is does my son need to apply dual to be Filipino citizen? Or he is already Filipino by birth and he will just apply Philippine passport at the Philippines embassy in San Francisco? Salamat po.
If his mother is a Filipino citizen, he will need to apply for Recognition as Filipino Citizen. Once approved, he can get a Philippine Passport because he was Filipino citizen at birth.
Good morning, it's refreshing to listen to your vlog. Here's a situation that will confuse you and subscribers even more. My younger brother (10 years) was born in 1964, on US soil, father a naturalized U.S. citizen and mother Filipino citizen (never applied for US citizenship) My brother has gone to the Philippine consulate twice, and was told he does not qualify for dual citizenship because he was born before 1976. He even went to the consulate after there was a change in administration...same answer. Do you know anything about this 1976 requirement? Thank you for your helpful vlog.
Hi grandpa, thanks for the helpful video and for asking for clarification on the text on the NY consulate website (fyi it’s still there!). A quick alternative scenario for your kind advice pls: Let’s say Filipino parent naturalized to the US in 1979 and had a child in the US born in 1980. In other words, the child was born after naturalization of the parent. But then, the parent reacquires Filipino citizenship through RA9225 in 2021. My understating is that the parent was deemed to have never lost Filipino citizenship. Will this mean that the parent is now deemed to be filipino at the time of the birth of the child and can now register a birth of filipino abroad? This way the adult child can acquire citizenship? Thanks!
Hello Grandpa, My wife and I love your videos and watch them all. I am a US Citizen and my wife is a dual citizen. We are due for our first baby on September 1 and he will be born here in the US. We are planning to go to the Philippines next May. Before going, we will get the baby a US Passport. We want to register the baby as a dual citizen. Do we file the Report of Birth with the local Philippine Consulate before we go; or, do we wait until we get to the Philippines and file for Recognition as a Philippine Citizen at the Main Office of Philippine Bureau of Immigration in Manila. Thank you so much for your reply!
You have to file a *_Report of Birth_* at the Philippine Consulate before you leave. Then, if you want and if it is more convenient, you can apply for Philippine Passport in the Philippines.
Mang Danny, I just reported the birth of my kids a few months ago. One in the Phil Embassy in Dc and the other one in LA. Just follow and send the requirements. They will call you if they need more information or docs. As with other Philippine government services, listed requirements are not being followed. They will always ask for more. Nakainis nga eh!
True about dual certificate vs. PH passport. We always advise people with dual citizenship that their identity certificate (the document with a photo in it, not the oath of allegiance or approved petition) is more than enough proof of having a Philippine citizenship. Passports expire while the identity certificate doesn't. When going through PH immigration, your foreign passport along with IC is best.
My husband is an American and I am a dual citizen. Both of my daughters were dual citizens. My eldest daughter was born in Saudi Arabia she has a US passport through my husband. I applied for her recognition as a Filipino citizen in the Philippines. My youngest daughter was born here in LA. As I got my dual citizen pina registered ko na din ang youngest daughter ko and get her a Philippine passport. Now they can freely go back and forth to the Philippines using their US and Philippine passport. Once you arrive in the Philippines give the 2 passports to the immigration so they know you're a dual citizen.
Hi I have a question? My have a friend husband and wife American citizen. Adopt a Filipino citizen is she automatic American citizen? That's what my friend told me.
Orphans adopted by a U.S. citizen parent are citizens once their adoption is final and they have lawfully entered the United States as permanent residents. Adopted children residing outside the United States may file for naturalization. Here's a link for more information on this. www.findlaw.com/immigration/citizenship/u-s-citizenship-for-a-foreign-born-adopted-child.html
Grandpa, I have an issue with this Recognition Citizenship. I was born in Manila in 1951. My father was a US citizen born in Hawaii and my mother was a Filipino citizen. In 2019, I personally went to the BI in Intramuros to apply for the Recognition Citizenship. Sad to say, I was denied because they said that my father was a US Citizen, not a Filipino. They said that my father has to be a Filipino in order for me to qualify based on a law in 1938. I am confused.
It is not just any law. It is based on the 1935 Constitution. Article IV Citizenship Section 1 The following are citizens of the Philippines:… …(3) Those whose fathers are citizens of the Philippines.” The 1935 Constitution was replaced by the 1973 Constitution, promulgated during the Marcos presidency: ARTICLE III CITIZENSHIP SECTION 1. The following are citizens of the Philippines:... ... (2) Those whose fathers or mothers are citizens of the Philippines. The 1973 Constitution was replaced by the 1987 Constitution under the Cory Aquino presidency. It follows the same citizenship principles of the 1973 constitution. Only former Filipinos can re-acquire PHL citizenship and become dual citizens.
Hi thanks for sharing watching from Los Angeles California I have a question maybe similar Iam naturalized U S citizens when I was born in cavite Philippines on 1977 my father Was US Navy on 1949 he baca me a US Citizen but my problem is I am I qualified to get a dual citizenship so left Philippines on 1973 Now that I want to live back home retire all I have documents is US passport and my birth certificate But I don’t have no certificate of neutralize do I have to have the certificate? Both of Have Pass on all documents is a copy my father Naturalized certificate and His US Navy’s Discharge papers so I need you help of my issue I appreciate of your channel for information God bless Po 👍🇵🇭😊
Let me make sure I understand your situation correctly. Your father became a US citizen in 1949 and left the Philippines in 1973. You were born in Cavite in 1977. Did you have a Philippine citizen mother at the time of your birth? If yes, you may just need to file a *_Recognition as Filipino Citizen_* to be qualified for a Philippine Passport. Otherwise, you may not qualify. Best to discuss your situation with Philippine Immigration.
...good subject sir...sana ma clarify kung puedeng maging dual citizen din ang anak ng Fil/Am na naipanganak dito sa U.S...maraming salamat po sa mga informations...God Bless...11:11
As you may know, you are not allowed to be out of the country for more than 6 months (or 12 months?) without permission from the US Immigration Office. As long as you have your valid Green Card you can.
If a child is born to a parent who is a US citizen that had a delayed report of birth abroad after child birth, can that child still obtain Filipino citizenship?
Thank you sir for the info. For filing for recognition as a Filipino but born in the US, do the parents need to file this or their adult child? What if the parents are both deceased? Thank you sir and more power to your channel.
good day po grandpa .ask lng po,paano po kung nkpg filled po ng report of birth ng bata ang parent bago naging naturalized citizen ung parent tpos hindi po ngpa dual ang parent, mpapa renew po kya ang phil.passport ng bata pag nasa tamang edad na po siya khit hindi na po phil.citizen ang magulang? slamt po sa sagot and God bless you .
Basta ang bata ay pinanganak noong Filipino citizen pa ang parents, yuon lang ang kailangan. Ipakita lang ang report of birth and magapply na ng Philippine passport ang bata.
Hi grandpa, thanks po sa information . Anyways grandpa, ang question ko po “ if dual citizen po , maapektuhan po ba ang SS pension if dual or nag retire tyo sa Philippines? looking forward pop sa inputs nyo. Thank you po.
Hello... Can you please clarify a question.. I became naturalized 10yrs ago and my son born in the US was about 4yrs old at the time of me taking the US oath..Will he be able to become a duel citizenship or recognition...
Vlogger Grandpa, what are the pros and cons of kids applying for dual citizenship? And is the delayed Report of Birth something that you just mail in or do you have to travel to a Phil Consulate in the US?
Everything is based on making an appointment first due to the pandemic. Sometimes, you need to send paperwork ahead of time for their review, then they will call you in. Definitely, passport passports are obtained in person because they will need to take your picture and finger print. But you will need to prepare documents and make an appointment. Regarding pros and cos of dual citizenship, that is covered in one of my vlogs. Here's the link to my channel. ruclips.net/channel/UCYU70S4jYvhw0BOetMFdD6Avideos
Hi grandpa, the NY consulate updated this in the last month. If the adult child was born in the US and both parents are already naturalized US citizen at the time of child’s birth, the adult child or parent/s can file a Petition for Naturalization as a Filipino Citizenship at the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines. (Please see Recognition of Filipino Citizenship)
Good to know. My question is how difficult is the application process. Hopefully it will be easy for them because anyone can apply fir Philippine citizenship. Question is whether or not the application will be approved, and will it be an easy process.
Welcome Grandpa. Unfortunately I can't answer your question about the process as the NY consulate website may remain erroneous because the supplied link does not provide information on Petition for Naturalization as a Filipino Citizen. Perhaps the website is yet to be updated. I assume Naturalization will be subject to the standard requirements for foreigners. I wish the PH govt would broaden their criteria to include children of Filipino people who had no choice but to naturalize when moving to the States before giving birth before the effectivity of RA9225. Nonetheless, I have heard anecdotal stories of people in this situation being approved, so my Mom and I will be seeing an immigration attorney in the Philippines when I'm there later this year. God bless po and thank you for always providing us the facts
I can't seem to get that information from the NY consulate website. Do you have a link you can share with me? I would like to read about it before I post it on RUclips. Thank you!
Grandpa, I have tried to reply twice to your last comment but I think including the link results in the reply not being posted... Go to the NY consulate website > FAQs > navigate to Dual Citizenship FAQ > go to the 6th question under that subheading. The link in the second paragraph takes you to the New York consulate Reconciliation as a Filipino citizen webpage, but does not have any information about Petition for Naturalization currently. Previously, this link took you directly to the Ph BI Recognition as a Filipino citizen website. If you want to discuss this away from the RUclips comments, let me know and I'll provide you my email address po
Good morning! I just want to be clarified regarding entry of Dual Citizens without a passport. Is it still suspended at this time? My brother who is a dual citizen but has no passport is returning to Manila in May. Will Phil Immigration allow him to enter without a Phil passport? I am all so confused now. Your kind clarification will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Please research. We are naturalized as a US Citizen. If we own a condo in the Philippines, how can my US born children own it when we die? Hope this info helps. Thank you.
What happens to the children under 18 yrs of age who were born when the parents are still Filipino citizens, are still under the custody of their parents when their parents naturalized? Will their valid Philippine passports be rendered invalid like their parents? So they will need to reapply for dual citizenship as a child? Also, if the child acquired a birth certificate but not a passport, will the child need a dual citizenship document before applying for the Philippine passport?
Sir, yung father ko po kasi matagal na sa america tapos nakapag asawa po siya dun pero ng hiwalay din po sila, pero first family po kami dito sa Philippines. meron po bang pag asa ma petition nya ako salamat po sa sagot.
Hi Grandpa,I am Filipino Citizen,married to American citizen.living here in the Phillipines.My son is born in the Philippines and his 23 yrs old,We got him a US passport since He was 3yrs old, and renewed his US passport 2 yrs ago.We got him a Philippines passport also since He was 3yrs old but never been renewed.My question is Do he need a Recognation of Filipino Citezenship when He will decide to go to the US?
I agree with you that they are wrong in the interpretation of RA9225. They are probably confused as Sec 2 of RA9225 states that “all Filipino citizens (former) shall be deemed not to have lost their Filipino citizenship under this act” REQUIRES a re-acquisition act on the former Filipinos part OTHERWISE the force of the renunciation part of the US oath of Allegiance is still in effect. Thus, that person born in the US with parents who were Former Filipinos (who did not do a re-acquisition of Filipino citizenship under RA9225) and are now Americans only, is solely American and NOT a dual citizen of the Philippines and America.
Grandpa: I don't find a conflict. Context is important. Those who have reacquired Philippine citizenship through RA-9225 are deemed to have never lost their Philippine citizenship. However, those who have been naturalized- say in the US- have renounced their Philippine citizenship, unless or until they reacquire it through RA-9225. So, an adult child whose parents were both naturalized citizens at the time of the child's birth, but at least one of which has since reacquired Philippine citizenship through RA-9225 can apply for Recognition as the child was born to at least one Philippine citizen. An adult child may not apply for citizenship through RA-9225 as RA-9225 does not apply to adult children or married children under age 18. The "recognition" instruction (RBR-99002) was issued in 1999; RA-9225 was passed in 2003.
Yes, but the website did not say that they re-acquired Philippine citizenship. That makes a BIG difference. Can't leave anything to "assumption" when you're reading something like this.
@@vloggergrandpa2707 I believe the section you refer to presumes at least one parent has reacquired citizenship. It appears in the section discussing RA-9225 which does not apply to adult children. If my child is already 18 years old or above by that time I applied for dual citizenship, what process do they need to take to be considered dual citizen as well? If the adult child was born in the Philippines and at least one parent is still Filipino at the time of child’s birth, he/she may file his/her own application for dual citizenship under RA9225. If the adult child was born in the US and both parents are already naturalized US citizen at the time of child’s birth, the adult child or parent/s can apply for Recognition of Filipino Citizenship at the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines. (Please see Recognition of Filipino Citizenship) If the adult child was born in the US and at least one parent is still Filipino at the time of child’s birth, the adult child or parent/s can apply for Report of Birth of a Filipino Abroad at the Philippine Embassy or Consulate which has jurisdiction over the place of birth. (Please see Report of Birth)
RA-9225 applies to former Filipino citizen *_who lost their citizenship due to naturalization in another country_* . To reacquire their Philippine citizenship, they will need to apply for Dual Citizenship under RA-9225.
This recognition process worked for my cousin. Both his parents were already naturalized US citizens at time of his birth. He obtained his dual after his own parents required Filipino citizenship. Have to do the other process to qualify for Filipino recognition. It does work. Just have to try and get the consulate to work it

We do not know what the requirement will be after April 30. We will find out then because of the periodic changes.
True about dual certificate vs. PH passport. We always advise people with dual citizenship that their identity certificate (the document with a photo in it, not the oath of allegiance or approved petition) is more than enough proof of having a Philippine citizenship. Passports expire while the identity certificate doesn't. When going through PH immigration, your foreign passport along with IC is best.
Thank you sir!!
Nice video!! Very engaging from beginning to end.
My husband is an American and I am a dual citizen. Both of my daughters were dual citizens. My eldest daughter was born in Saudi Arabia she has a US passport through my husband. I applied for her recognition as a Filipino citizen in the Philippines. My youngest daughter was born here in LA. As I got my dual citizen pina registered ko na din ang youngest daughter ko and get her a Philippine passport. Now they can freely go back and forth to the Philippines using their US and Philippine passport. Once you arrive in the Philippines give the 2 passports to the immigration so they know you're a dual citizen.
Very good move and planning for your whole family!
Hi I have a question? My have a friend husband and wife American citizen. Adopt a Filipino citizen is she automatic American citizen? That's what my friend told me.
Orphans adopted by a U.S. citizen parent are citizens once their adoption is final and they have lawfully entered the United States as permanent residents. Adopted children residing outside the United States may file for naturalization. Here's a link for more information on this.

Grandpa, I have an issue with this Recognition Citizenship. I was born in Manila in 1951. My father was a US citizen born in Hawaii and my mother was a Filipino citizen. In 2019, I personally went to the BI in Intramuros to apply for the Recognition Citizenship. Sad to say, I was denied because they said that my father was a US Citizen, not a Filipino. They said that my father has to be a Filipino in order for me to qualify based on a law in 1938. I am confused.
That is correct. Now, if you were born in 1973 or later, you will be allowed dual citizenship with Filipino citizen mother.
It is not just any law. It is based on the 1935 Constitution.
Article IV Citizenship
Section 1 The following are citizens of the Philippines:…
…(3) Those whose fathers are citizens of the Philippines.”
The 1935 Constitution was replaced by the 1973 Constitution, promulgated during the Marcos presidency:
ARTICLE III CITIZENSHIP
SECTION 1. The following are citizens of the Philippines:...
... (2) Those whose fathers or mothers are citizens of the Philippines.
The 1973 Constitution was replaced by the 1987 Constitution under the Cory Aquino presidency. It follows the same citizenship principles of the 1973 constitution.
Only former Filipinos can re-acquire PHL citizenship and become dual citizens.
@@mvescuadra Does this mean even if he's born in manila he's not a filipino citizen coz her parents were naturalized already?
Hi thanks for sharing watching from Los Angeles California I have a question maybe similar Iam naturalized U S citizens when I was born in cavite Philippines on 1977 my father Was US Navy on 1949 he baca me a US Citizen but my problem is I am I qualified to get a dual citizenship so left Philippines on 1973 Now that I want to live back home retire all I have documents is US passport and my birth certificate But I don’t have no certificate of neutralize do I have to have the certificate? Both of Have Pass on all documents is a copy my father Naturalized certificate and His US Navy’s Discharge papers so I need you help of my issue I appreciate of your channel for information God bless Po 👍🇵🇭😊
Let me make sure I understand your situation correctly. Your father became a US citizen in 1949 and left the Philippines in 1973. You were born in Cavite in 1977. Did you have a Philippine citizen mother at the time of your birth? If yes, you may just need to file a *_Recognition as Filipino Citizen_* to be qualified for a Philippine Passport. Otherwise, you may not qualify. Best to discuss your situation with Philippine Immigration.

...good subject sir...sana ma clarify kung puedeng maging dual citizen din ang anak ng Fil/Am na naipanganak dito sa U.S...maraming salamat po sa mga informations...God Bless...11:11

Hi grandpa! Do you know if I can fly back to the US right now considering Im a filipino passport holder but Im a US permanent resident also?
As you may know, you are not allowed to be out of the country for more than 6 months (or 12 months?) without permission from the US Immigration Office. As long as you have your valid Green Card you can.
If a child is born to a parent who is a US citizen that had a delayed report of birth abroad after child birth, can that child still obtain Filipino citizenship?
If parent was Filipino citizen *_at the time of child's birth_* , he is considered a Filipino citizen and only need to file a delayed report of birth.
Thank you sir for the info. For filing for recognition as a Filipino but born in the US, do the parents need to file this or their adult child? What if the parents are both deceased? Thank you sir and more power to your channel.
It does not matter if parents are deceased provided you can get all the documents required.
@@vloggergrandpa2707 thank you sir. God bless.
good day po grandpa .ask lng po,paano po kung nkpg filled po ng report of birth ng bata ang parent bago naging naturalized citizen ung parent tpos hindi po ngpa dual ang parent, mpapa renew po kya ang phil.passport ng bata pag nasa tamang edad na po siya khit hindi na po phil.citizen ang magulang? slamt po sa sagot and God bless you .
Basta ang bata ay pinanganak noong Filipino citizen pa ang parents, yuon lang ang kailangan. Ipakita lang ang report of birth and magapply na ng Philippine passport ang bata.
Hi grandpa, thanks po sa information .
Anyways grandpa, ang question ko po “ if dual citizen po , maapektuhan po ba ang SS pension if dual or nag retire tyo sa Philippines? looking forward pop sa inputs nyo. Thank you po.
No. You can go to the US Embassy and have your SS sent to the Philippines or Philippine bank account.
@@vloggergrandpa2707 it’s a direct deposit anyway sa bank natin .., thanks grandpa now I know . Stay safe and healthy po kyo ng family nyo 🙏🏻
Hello... Can you please clarify a question.. I became naturalized 10yrs ago and my son born in the US was about 4yrs old at the time of me taking the US oath..Will he be able to become a duel citizenship or recognition...
What he will need is to file a delayed Report of Birth. He is considered a Philippine citizen at birth.
Vlogger Grandpa, what are the pros and cons of kids applying for dual citizenship? And is the delayed Report of Birth something that you just mail in or do you have to travel to a Phil Consulate in the US?
Everything is based on making an appointment first due to the pandemic. Sometimes, you need to send paperwork ahead of time for their review, then they will call you in. Definitely, passport passports are obtained in person because they will need to take your picture and finger print. But you will need to prepare documents and make an appointment. Regarding pros and cos of dual citizenship, that is covered in one of my vlogs. Here's the link to my channel. ruclips.net/channel/UCYU70S4jYvhw0BOetMFdD6Avideos
Hi grandpa, the NY consulate updated this in the last month.
If the adult child was born in the US and both parents are already naturalized US citizen at the time of child’s birth, the adult child or parent/s can file a Petition for Naturalization as a Filipino Citizenship at the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines. (Please see Recognition of Filipino Citizenship)
Good to know. My question is how difficult is the application process. Hopefully it will be easy for them because anyone can apply fir Philippine citizenship. Question is whether or not the application will be approved, and will it be an easy process.
By the way, thanks for bringing that to my attention
Welcome Grandpa.
Unfortunately I can't answer your question about the process as the NY consulate website may remain erroneous because the supplied link does not provide information on Petition for Naturalization as a Filipino Citizen. Perhaps the website is yet to be updated. I assume Naturalization will be subject to the standard requirements for foreigners.
I wish the PH govt would broaden their criteria to include children of Filipino people who had no choice but to naturalize when moving to the States before giving birth before the effectivity of RA9225.
Nonetheless, I have heard anecdotal stories of people in this situation being approved, so my Mom and I will be seeing an immigration attorney in the Philippines when I'm there later this year. God bless po and thank you for always providing us the facts
I can't seem to get that information from the NY consulate website. Do you have a link you can share with me? I would like to read about it before I post it on RUclips. Thank you!
Grandpa, I have tried to reply twice to your last comment but I think including the link results in the reply not being posted...
Go to the NY consulate website > FAQs > navigate to Dual Citizenship FAQ > go to the 6th question under that subheading.
The link in the second paragraph takes you to the New York consulate Reconciliation as a Filipino citizen webpage, but does not have any information about Petition for Naturalization currently.
Previously, this link took you directly to the Ph BI Recognition as a Filipino citizen website. If you want to discuss this away from the RUclips comments, let me know and I'll provide you my email address po
Good morning! I just want to be clarified regarding entry of Dual Citizens without a passport. Is it still suspended at this time? My brother who is a dual citizen but has no passport is returning to Manila in May. Will Phil Immigration allow him to enter without a Phil passport? I am all so confused now. Your kind clarification will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Yes. A passport is not a requirement. Simply show the US Passport and his Dual Citizenship Identification Certificate.
@@vloggergrandpa2707 Thanks for the clarification...you're simply awesome!
It should not be a requirement all the time to have two passports because international travel only requires one passport NOT two.
Please research. We are naturalized as a US Citizen. If we own a condo in the Philippines, how can my US born children own it when we die?
Hope this info helps. Thank you.
A foreigner can own a condominium if the Philippines. The prohibition is only on land ownership. A condominium owner does not own the land.
@@vloggergrandpa2707 But can they own it when we die?
Yes
What happens to the children under 18 yrs of age who were born when the parents are still Filipino citizens, are still under the custody of their parents when their parents naturalized? Will their valid Philippine passports be rendered invalid like their parents? So they will need to reapply for dual citizenship as a child? Also, if the child acquired a birth certificate but not a passport, will the child need a dual citizenship document before applying for the Philippine passport?
Sir, yung father ko po kasi matagal na sa america tapos nakapag asawa po siya dun pero ng hiwalay din po sila, pero first family po kami dito sa Philippines. meron po bang pag asa ma petition nya ako salamat po sa sagot.
Sorry. I can't answer that because I'm not current on U.S. Immigration Laws. Best to consult someone else.
Anak ka pa rin niya nasa birth certificate yun, pwede pa rin as long hindi ka muna magpapakasal kasi made-deny yung petition mo.
I have never heard of adult child birth! What is that?
Hi Grandpa,I am Filipino Citizen,married to American citizen.living here in the Phillipines.My son is born in the Philippines and his 23 yrs old,We got him a US passport since He was 3yrs old, and renewed his US passport 2 yrs ago.We got him a Philippines passport also since He was 3yrs old but never been renewed.My question is Do he need a Recognation of Filipino Citezenship when He will decide to go to the US?
Yes, he will need a Recognition.
I agree with you that they are wrong in the interpretation of RA9225. They are probably confused as Sec 2 of RA9225 states that “all Filipino citizens (former) shall be deemed not to have lost their Filipino citizenship under this act” REQUIRES a re-acquisition act on the former Filipinos part OTHERWISE the force of the renunciation part of the US oath of Allegiance is still in effect.
Thus, that person born in the US with parents who were Former Filipinos (who did not do a re-acquisition of Filipino citizenship under RA9225) and are now Americans only, is solely American and NOT a dual citizen of the Philippines and America.
Grandpa: I don't find a conflict. Context is important. Those who have reacquired Philippine citizenship through RA-9225 are deemed to have never lost their Philippine citizenship. However, those who have been naturalized- say in the US- have renounced their Philippine citizenship, unless or until they reacquire it through RA-9225. So, an adult child whose parents were both naturalized citizens at the time of the child's birth, but at least one of which has since reacquired Philippine citizenship through RA-9225 can apply for Recognition as the child was born to at least one Philippine citizen. An adult child may not apply for citizenship through RA-9225 as RA-9225 does not apply to adult children or married children under age 18. The "recognition" instruction (RBR-99002) was issued in 1999; RA-9225 was passed in 2003.
Yes, but the website did not say that they re-acquired Philippine citizenship. That makes a BIG difference. Can't leave anything to "assumption" when you're reading something like this.
@@vloggergrandpa2707 I believe the section you refer to presumes at least one parent has reacquired citizenship. It appears in the section discussing RA-9225 which does not apply to adult children.
If my child is already 18 years old or above by that time I applied for dual citizenship, what process do they need to take to be considered dual citizen as well?
If the adult child was born in the Philippines and at least one parent is still Filipino at the time of child’s birth, he/she may file his/her own application for dual citizenship under RA9225.
If the adult child was born in the US and both parents are already naturalized US citizen at the time of child’s birth, the adult child or parent/s can apply for Recognition of Filipino Citizenship at the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines. (Please see Recognition of Filipino Citizenship)
If the adult child was born in the US and at least one parent is still Filipino at the time of child’s birth, the adult child or parent/s can apply for Report of Birth of a Filipino Abroad at the Philippine Embassy or Consulate which has jurisdiction over the place of birth. (Please see Report of Birth)
RA-9225 applies to former Filipino citizen *_who lost their citizenship due to naturalization in another country_* . To reacquire their Philippine citizenship, they will need to apply for Dual Citizenship under RA-9225.
This recognition process worked for my cousin. Both his parents were already naturalized US citizens at time of his birth. He obtained his dual after his own parents required Filipino citizenship. Have to do the other process to qualify for Filipino recognition. It does work. Just have to try and get the consulate to work it
@@jaystaniodid your cousin submit an apostille US Birth Cert or US Birth Cert from State's Vital Records okay?
