The Philippines allow dual citizenship, such as USA / Philippines?
My daughter-in-law is a Philippines with a USA green card. Can he apply for citizenship in the USA and maintain his Philippine citizenship?
Yes. Until 2003 it was not possible. The Philippine government amended their citizenship law and not allow for dual citizenship. http://www.philippineconsulate-sf.org/dualcitizenship_faq.htm # 4 What is Citizenship maintenance and Re-acquisition Act of 2003?
