Yes. The Philippines follow jus sanguinis, which means that your baby will not be a Filipino citizen (he needs to have at least one parent who is a Filipino citizen to be classified as such). Hence, he will be an American citizen. Actually, there is no need to worry, since thousands of Americans are born in the Philippines yearly and still attain American citizenship (there are more than 130,000 Americans in Manila alone).

He will not be an american citizen by birth. He will be the citizen of the country he was born in. But since he is below the age of sixteen with atleast one parent who is an american citizen, you can acquire citizenship of the US for him.

Interesting question. Here's an oddball answer. No. The offspring would be considered of the place it was born of American parentage. Try Department of Immigration through the Department of State. They've probably got a website that'll confirm or deny that.

I believe your child gets to choose between being a Filipino or a US citizen when s/he turns 18. Until then s/he is a dual citizen (one of both nations). You may be able to state that s/he is solely the citizen of one of the two nations beforehand though.

Yes. To be correct, you child will have duel citizenship if he/she is born in a hospital in the Philippines. One of my co-workers had her baby in Venice, Italy and now her baby has duel citizenship in Venice and in the US. Of course there will be some paper work, but after that, your baby gets the best of both worlds! Hope this helped.

My sister is American citizen & she lives in Okinawa w/ her husband-my niece was born there, so she is American & they can get an okinawan citizen ship if they want. Also, she is getting a puerto rican one because her dad is puerto rican. so she'll have all 3

The child will have your (parents) citizenship from the moment he/she is born no matter where or in which country it will be. However the moment he/she reaches 21/18 (voting age), he/she would have to decide which nationality he/she will take.

Yes, you have to register the child immediately after birth at the US embassy in the country of birth.
