3. obligations of
citizenship
A citizen is a member of a democratic
community who enjoys full civil and
political rights and is accorded
protection inside and outside the
territory of the state.
An alien is a citizen of a country who is
residing or passing through another
country. Alien is commonly known as
“foreigner” and is not given full rights
to citizenship.
Citizenship is a term
that denotes the
membership of a
citizen in a political
society.
Article IV, Section 1 of The 1987
Constitution
SECTION 1. The following are citizens of the Philippines :
NATURAL – BORN
NATURALIZED
Section 3. Philippine
citizenship may be lost or
reacquired in the manner
provided by law.
Voluntarily - Expatriation
By naturalization in a foreign country. (RA 9225)
By express renunciation of citizenship
By subscribing to an oath of allegiance to
support the constitution and laws of a foreign
country
By rendering service to, or accepting
commission in the armed forces of a foreign
country
Involuntarily
By cancellation of his/her certificate of
naturalization by the court
By having been declared by a competent
authority, a deserter in the Philippine
armed forces in time of war
* In time of war, a Filipino citizen cannot expatriate
himself.
Reacquisition of
Citizenship
By naturalization , provided the
applicant possesses none of the
disqualifications provided in the
naturalization law
By repatriation of deserters of the
Philippine armed forces and women
who lost their citizenship by reason of
marriage to an alien, after the
termination of their marital status
By direct act of the Congress of the
Philippines
Section 4. Citizens of the
Philippines who marry aliens shall
retain their citizenship, unless by
their act or omission, they are
deemed, under the law, to have
renounced it.
Effect of Marriage of a Citizen to an
Alien
A citizen who marries an alien does not lose
his/her Philippine citizenship even if by the
laws of his/her wife’s/husband’s country, he/she
acquires her/his nationality. Thus, a Filipino
woman, who upon marriage to an alien
acquires his citizenship, will possess two
citizenships – Philippine citizenship and that
of her husband
Section 5. Dual allegiance of
citizens is inimical to the
national interest and shall be
dealt with by law.
Dual Allegiance of Citizens
Continued allegiance of naturalized
nationals to their mother country even after
they have acquired Filipino citizenship
Declared inmical to national interest, and
Congress is required that it be dealt with by
law
Prohibited
Dual Citizenship of Citizens
Possession of two citizenships by and individual, that
of his original citizenship and that of the country he
became a naturalized citizen
Arises because our laws cannot control laws of other
countries on citizenship
not per se objectionable, but such status may be
regulated or restricted by law where it isconducive or
could lead to dual allegiance
Not prohibited
In the case of public officers and
employees, whether elective or
appointive, dual citizenship may be
constitutionally prohibited by law for as
public servants, they are required to
serve the people “with utmost loyalty”
and “act with patriotism” in the
performance of their duties and
functions. (Art. 11, Sec. 1)
