ANG PAGKAMAMAMAYAN
Were you born in the Philippines? Are
your parents Filipino? If you were born
in the Philippines and your parents are
both Filipino, you are a true Filipino
citizen. The race is Filipino and the
Philippines is your country.
Not all people you see around and live in the Philippines
can be considered legitimate citizens of the country. Look
at your classmates or neighbors. Are there Americans,
Chinese, Koreans, Australians, Singaporeans, or other
foreign or foreign races? They are citizens of foreign
countries living here in the Philippines. They may be here
to do business, study, work, or just visit for a few months.
Being a legitimate citizen of a country has
benefits that a non-citizen does not enjoy.
He has what can be called a country he
belongs to and an identity. He is given
protection and care by the government
whether inside or outside the country. He
has rights and freedoms to stabilize and
develop his lifestyle.
When abroad, his passport will
prove his citizenship. When
something bad happens to him in
another country, he can ask for
help from the embassy or consulate
of his country. He will be assisted
and given protection by the
embassy or consulate.

The 1987 Constitution states the grounds for
determining legitimate or real citizens of the
Philippines:
Article IV

enactment of this Constitution;
2. Those whose fathers and mothers are citizens of
the Philippines;
3. Those born before January 17,
1973 whose mother is Filipino,
who chose Filipino citizenship
upon reaching the age of majority
and;
4. Those who became citizens
according to the law.

jus sanguinis- citizenship by
blood relationship
jus soli- citizenship by place of
birth
When the parents are a Filipino
and a foreigner, the child can
choose his citizenship upon
reaching the age of majority. He
can choose the citizenship of his
father or mother.

The constitution also has a section for Filipinos
who marry foreigners. According to Section 4 of
Article IV.
Citizens of the Philippines who are married to
foreigners will retain their citizenship, even if by
their act or omission, they will be considered,
under the law, to have renounced it.
There are foreigners who have been
living in the Philippines for a long
time, who want to become Filipino
citizens in order to fully enjoy the
rights of a Filipino. In this case, a
foreigner must go through the
naturalization process. He must file a
request or petition in court and prove
that he has the qualifications to
become a Filipino citizen.

Ang Dalawahang Pagkamamamayan o
Dual Citizenship
According to Section 5 of Article IV:
The dual loyalty of citizens is against the
national interest and should be enforced by the
relevant law.
Ang Dalawahang Pagkamamamayan o
Dual Citizenship
Because it is difficult to be loyal to two different
countries that have their own governments and
constitutions, dual citizenship needs to be
carefully considered.
Ang Dalawahang Pagkamamamayan o
Dual Citizenship
In 2003, the Citizen Retention and Reacquisition
Act or the so-called Dual Citizenship Act (Repblic
Act No. 9225) was created. This law allows former
Filipino citizens who became citizens of another
country to become citizens of the Philippines
again.

fees; and

When they become citizens of the Philippines again, they
are obliged to pay taxes to the government based on their
income both inside and outside the country. They are also
responsible for the duties of a Filipino citizen such as being
loyal to the country, respecting the flag, obeying the
Constitution and defending it, obeying other laws, and other
obligations of a citizen.
Being a citizen of a country is important because it gives an
identity to a person. This means that he has a country to
belong to and that will protect his rights. But, citizenship
also comes with responsibilities that a citizen must carry out
and take to heart.
Citizenship can be lost due to one's own
decision or action. A Filipino should
know its effects on himself and his family
before making a decision.
