Philippines Citizenship Through Marriage

I'd be interested, but I'm a US single female. According to what Wrye83 posted, even though I might be able to meet the basic requirements, the PI constitution on this doesn't appear to allow a single, unmarried female a citizenship option. WTF?

Since you have lawyer friends, can you ask about this and see what they say about a single US female from the US being able to have dual citizenship rights in the Philippines.

According to the law, I believe one of the Requirements is marriage to a Filipino but

Depending on your situation there are three main routes to becoming a naturalized Filipino citizen.

1. The courts - if you are a foreigner who has married a Filipino then a judicial process will allow you to become a Filipino citizen.
2. The Office of the Solicitor General - the OSG has the power to approve petitions for naturalization. The processing fee is around P40,000.
3. An act of congress - if you have made a significant contribution to public life in the Philippines your application to become naturalized can be sponsored by a senator or congressman.

 

OK!!! IF YOU COME HERE AND MARRY A PHILIPPINE BEAUTY! THEN FIVE YEARS FROM NOW SHE GETS AN INHERITANCE OF SOME LAND OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN!! ITS BEEN IN HER FAMILY FOR 50 YEARS! SHE DIVIDES THE PARCEL EVENLY WITH SIBLINGS! EVERYTHING IS LEGAL AND HAPPY!! NOW THE COUPLE START TO BUILD A HOME ON THIS TRACK AND IT LOOKS AWESOME!! NOW HE WANTS TO BE A CITIZEN HERE!! THE HAPPY COUPLE IS REALLY LOVIN EACH OTHER!! SO HE GOES WHERE? IMMIGRATION, AMERICAN CONSULATE IN CEBU, EMBASSY IN MANILA? OR WHAT LOCAL OFFICE? OR CAN IT EVEN HAPPEN? READING ALL THE COMMENTS ABOVE HAS MADE ME SLEEPY AND DIZZY TOO!!

 

Ownership is just a word like annulment or divorce. You can have absolute irrevocable power of attorney to dispose of, donate or do as you see fit with anything you buy here.

I certainly would not want become a citizen of this country. Sounds like a downgrade to me apart from the fact you could get an SC card.

As a foreigner you can lock up your wife if she commits adultery. Not so hard to prove if she is in a one bedroom house or hotel room with another man. They reduced it to around five years now. If she gets pregnant with another man 'you are responsible for the kid being the legally wedded husband. For men it's a much lesser charge of concubinage and harder to make it stick. A freind of mine took his atty to PNP and arrested his wife and BF. He let them out after a week locked up and her signing over 90% of the property to another Filipino.

 

Looks like it's not going to happen. They really don't want us, just leave the money and go.

 

You know that absolute power of attorney can be revoked at any time unless a court declared the person you got the power of attorney from incompetent?
