Two of my kids have Germany listed on their passports for country of birth - and neither are, or ever were, German citizens.  That doesn't prove citizenship or former citizenship.  An old passport, as the consulate office listed, would.  

 

Passports in themselves do prove citizenship, as those are only issued to citizens of a country.   Your two kids passports  - Sounds like DOS messed up the passports and you should get them corrected.   That is a TYPO for sure!

Were they born in Germany?

Not a typo, they were born in Germany.

Then their passports are correct .. so not sure what you are trying to say.    But you confirmed exactly what I said; that the country of birth is listed on the passport.   (that doesn't mean they are German citizens)

U.S. passport also shows their country of birth

It seemed as if you were insinuating that the US passport could be used to show former Philippine citizenship, vs an old/invalid passport, because it shows the country of birth.  My point is that the country of birth doesn't necessarily mean, or prove, former citizenship.

Never insinuated that country of birth noted on a passport shows former citizenship .. that is all you.

 

 

I do know of others that only carry a U.S. passport, then at immigration at the airport receive the BB stamp.    They tell me the agent notices the Philippines listed as country of birth from the passport.

 

My wife is a dual citizen thus has both passports.

Ok, if you say so.  Not sure why you would mention it in the first place - especially with the context of the conversation.  I guess it was just a random fact that you threw out there for no apparent reason.
