The Phiippines does not now allow dual nationality, with the possible exception of children born with two nationalities, at least until majority.

Otherwise, probably not.

As it happens, few citizens of Muslim countries seek naturalization in another country. Perhaps you are an exception.

You might find the following Web site helpful: http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Boutique/9731/

Kenneth H's answer, above, is rubbish. The USA is perfectly aware that millions of American citizens also hold another nationality: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1753.html But that, fo course, is not germane to your question.

As for Pakistan, see: http://www.pakistan.org.au/overseas_pakistani.htm

Andy is right. And here is a site that you might find even more helpful than those he already mentioned. It's a couple of years old, but most of the information is still valid:
http://www.multiplecitizenship.com/

As you will see, Pakistan does not recognize dual citizenship. A child born abroad who obtains the citizenship of the country of birth may retain dual citizenship until age 21. The person must then renounce the other citizenship or Pakistani citizenship will be revoked.

The Philippines has the same rule: A child born abroad to Filipino parents, who acquires the citizenship of the country of birth, is required to choose a preferred citizenship by age 21.

Generally it is becoming very common for people to have dual (or multiple) nationality. However, you need to confirm with both the Pakistan and Philippines governments to be certain if this combination is allowed.

Most countries now accept that adding a new nationality / citizenship does not automatically void the prior nationality / citizenship unless you specifically denounce it.

It would depend on the laws of both countries. As far a I know dual citizenship is the norm and the only country that will not allow this is the United States but there may be others.
