YES. Former natural-born Filipinos who are now naturalized citizens of another country can still buy and register, under their own name, house and lot in the Philippines but limited in land area. Please refer to No. 3 of Question No. 1. However, those who avail of the Dual Citizenship Law in the Philippines can buy as much as many houses and lots without limit as any other Filipino citizen.
