From natural-born Filipino, to being a naturalized foreign citizen, and now — a Filipino once again by virtue of Republic Act No. 9225. 🇵🇭
After her Petition for Re-acquisition of Philippine Citizenship under Republic Act No. 9225 was GRANTED by the Bureau of Immigration, I had the honor of administering the Oath of Allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines to a 79-year-old client. 👵🖋️
After years as a foreign citizen, she is now a Filipino once again and is restored to her full civil and political rights. ✅
Not an episode — just a real-life Legal Ready moment. 🥰💕
Context: R.A. No. 9225 allows natural-born Filipinos who LOST their Philippine citizenship by reason of “naturalization” in a foreign country to re-acquire or retain Philippine citizenship. 🤗
