If you are born in America to Philippine-born parents, will that make you a philippine citizen too?

Answer 1

well, if your parents are filipino citizens then yes and you are a natural-born filipino citizen. the philippines follows the "jus sanguinis" principle (which means right of blood) that says that the child inherits the filipino citizenship of his parents even if the child is born in a country which follows the "jus soli" principle (or the right of soil principle), of which the united states of america follows.

Answer 2

If you are born in the US you are a US citizen by default, no matter what your parents are, unless you were born on internationally protected property, like the embassy or a military installation for another country.

Answer 3

Yes, I was born in Mexico to a Mexican mother and French father, and I have both citizen ships, the parents have to claim you as a citizen, or you can take their birth certificate to the local consulate and get your documents.

Answer 4

Yes. If one of your parents was a Philippine citizen, you are too.

Answer 5

Yes, but there is a procedure they will have to go through (or you), probably registration with the embassy for the Philippines.

Not necessarily. You could certainly apply for Filipino citizenship and probably get it quite easily, but unless your parents registered you at birth with the Philipine government, perhaps through the embassy in the US, you probably have not been granted citizenship.

You are an American citizen with a Filipino culture.

Answer 8
