civil and political rights and be subject to all attendant liabilities and responsibilities under existing laws of the Philippines and the
following conditions:
(1) Those intending to exercise their right of suffrage must Meet the requirements under Section 1, Article V of the Constitution,
Republic Act No. 9189, otherwise known as "The Overseas Absentee Voting Act of 2003" and other existing laws;
(2) Those seeking elective public in the Philippines shall meet the qualification for holding such public office as required by the
Constitution and existing laws and, at the time of the filing of the certificate of candidacy, make a personal and sworn renunciation of
any and all foreign citizenship before any public officer authorized to administer an oath;

naturalized citizens.
Q: Does R.A 9223 considered as absolute?
A: It depends
(VIVENNE K. TAN vs. VINCENT "BINGBONG" CRISOLOGO Gr no. 193993)
• During the time Tan lost her Philippine citizenship, R.A. No. 9225 was not yet enacted
and the applicable law was still Commonwealth Act No. 63. Under this law, both the
renunciation of Philippine citizenship and the acquisition of a new citizenship in a
foreign country through naturalization are grounds to lose Philippine citizenship:
• Section 1. How citizenship may be lost. - A Filipino citizen may lose his citizenship in
any of the following ways and/or events:
• (1) By naturalization in a foreign country;
• (2) By express renunciation of citizenship;
• Since the foregoing law was still effective when Tan became an American citizen, the
loss of her Philippine citizenship is but a necessary consequence. As the applicable law
at that time, Tan was presumed to know the legal effects of her choice to become a
naturalized U.S. citizen. The loss of Tan's Philippine citizenship is reinforced by the fact
that she voluntarily renounced her Philippine citizenship as a requirement to acquire
U.S. citizenship.
• Allsaid, absent any legal basis for the retroactive application of R.A. No. 9225, we
agree with the CA that Tan was not a Filipino citizen at the time she registered as a
voter and her inclusion to the permanent voter's list is highly irregular.
Nature of Naturalization
An alien does not have a natural, inherent, or vested
right to be admitted to citizenship in a state. Citizenship is
matter of grace, favor or privilege which a sovereign
government may confer on, or withhold from, an alien or
grant to him under such conditions as it sees fit without
the support of any reason whatsoever.
No alien be subject of the most powerful nation of the
world can take such citizenship for granted or assume it
as a matter of right.
General ways of acquiring
citizenship
1. Involuntary method, by birth because of blood

relationship or place of birth
2. Voluntary method, Naturalization, except in case
of collective naturalization of the inhabitants of a
territory which takes place when it is ceded by one
state to another as a result of conquest or treaty
