I got a note today from Macrina.

Here is Macrina’s note:

I am a dual citizen so is my husband. Our single son lives with us, but he is an adult 44 years old and was born in US. Could he apply for dual Fil-Am citizenship. I have a feeling the answer is no, but just want a verification.

Hello Macrina,

Thank you for writing to the Philippine Dual Citizenship website!

To be honest, I am not 100% certain if your son can become a dual citizen or not, but I have a couple of suggestions for you.

My Son is 44, can he get dual citizenship

My Son is 44, can he get dual citizenship

Firstly, if you were a Philippine Citizen at the time of his birth, 44 years ago, check with the Embassy to see if you can still file a report of his birth abroad.  If they will still allow that, he can obtain dual citizenship that way.

Secondly, let him file an application for dual citizenship on his own, given that you are a dual citizen, and see how they rule on it.  It will be interesting to know.

Good luck to you and your son, Macrina.
