Hello, all!
So my question is about Dual Citizenship in the Philippines:
I was born and raised in the Philippines and have a PH passport. But I acquired a Hong Kong passport before the 2003 Dual Citizenship Law was passed. I know I am still entitled to re-apply to get a PH passport again... but never did.
Here is the situation:
- I have a HK passport prior to 2003.
- I have always been renewing my PH passport eversince.
- I have never informed the PH govt that I have a HK passport.
- I have never applied to be a Filipino again after 2003.
Questions:
1. What I am doing--- is that legal--- to have renewed my passport without re-applying or informing the PH govt that I have a foreign passport also?
2. Can I still apply for a dual citizenship despite this situation or are they going to arrest me when I apply?
Thank you.
