Dual citizenship

[Mardy 15]

Hi, been a while since my last post here in visajourney and not quite sure if this is the right forum to post my question, my apology if I'm in the wrong place. If there are Filipino who went through the same process as I do, gladly appreciate your input. This year I'm going to apply for my U.S citizenship. With me losing my Filipino status, can I still apply for dual citizenship for my children(both are American citizen)?

Thanks!

while you acquire US Citizenship by Naturalization and can apply dual citizenship as a Filipino after, ( by taking an oath before the proper authority in the Consular Office of your residence here), your children who acquired their US citizenship ( born here ?) under the principle of jus soli, are actually Filipinos, too, under the principle of jus sanguinis or by blood, based on the Phil. constitution.

how they will get their Phil  citizenship documents depends on their years of birth. i don't know the ages of your children so i can't expand on this.

there are several materials online re how your children can acquire the proper documents for their Phil. citizenship. but what would you need it for when it is very easy to travel between the US and the Phil with your US passport?

I am  fil-am, whose Phil passport has expired because you really have no need for it in your travels. have not even used it for any retirement plans because once you are used to the US and the conveniences, the country offers, nowhere else will you be comfortable, esp in your old age. yes, i am a retiree. visit the Phil. frequently but can't stay there for long.  

you may not agree with me now because you may not have lived here very long but one day in the future you will understand what am saying today.

My children were born here in the U.S and ages 7 & 3. My reason for them to have dual citizenship is just giving them options later on in life like if they want to go to school in the Philippines, etc.,...

you can call your nearest phil embassy/ consulate to know the requirements for them to get their phil passport, ok?

good luck..
