When is a child considered a natural born dual citizen?
A child is a natural born dual citizen if he is born of a Filipino parent (at the time of the child’s birth) and is able to acquire foreign citizenship because he/she was born in a foreign country that adheres to the jus soli principle (eg, the United States). Thus, a child, born to a Filipino parent in the United States of America is a natural-born Filipino because the Philippines adheres to the jus sanguinis principle, and at the same time an American citizen because the USA adheres to the jus soli principle.
