Being married to a Philippine Citizen does not entitle
anyone to be a Citizen of the Philippines.
Normally, if somebody wants to apply for Naturalization in
the Philippines, they must live in the Philippines for 10 years before
applying. However, if you to apply for
citizenship here, the wait is only five years.
Under Philippine law, if you want to become naturalized in
the Philippines, and be a citizen of the country, you may have to renounce your
own citizenship. This is the situation for the Americans. The good thing for a wife is that under the
Philippine Dual Citizenship law, she can re-acquire her Philippine Citizen and
be a citizen of both countries. The US
does not offer such a procedure.
