  1. Differentiate Natural Born Citizen from Naturalized Citizen

A Natural Born citizen is whose parents were the citizens of that country at the time of his or her birth. Natural born Filipinos are those who are citizens from birth without having to perform any act to acquire or perfect their Philippine citizenship. Also, those who elect Philippine citizenship are in accordance with the Constitution. On the other hand, a Naturalized Citizen is a person who is originally from another country that went through a legal process to acquire citizenship or nationality of a different country.

  1. Who are citizens of the Philippines as provided for by the Constitution?

The considered citizens of the Philippines are those:

● Who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of the adoption of this Constitution ● Whose fathers or mothers are citizens of the Philippines ● Born before January 17, 1973, of Filipino mothers, who elect Philippine citizenship upon reaching the age of majority; and ● Who are naturalized in accordance with the law.

  1. Explain the reason behind the constitutional prohibition against dual allegiance.

According to Article IV, Section 5 of the Constitution provides: "Dual allegiance of citizens is inimical to the national interest and shall be dealt with by law." Dual allegiance refers to a person who has loyalty to two or more states. This kind of loyalty can be a threat to the state or to the national interest.

  1. Discuss the similarities and differences of repatriation and naturalization.

Naturalization and repatriation are processes of becoming a citizen of a country. The difference is that Naturalization is a mode for both acquisition and reacquisition of Philippine citizenship. As a mode of initially acquiring Philippine citizenship, naturalization is governed by Commonwealth Act No. 473, as amended. On the other hand, naturalization as a mode for reacquiring Philippine citizenship is governed by Commonwealth Act No. 63. Under this law, a former Filipino citizen who wishes to reacquire Philippine citizenship must possess certain qualifications and none of the disqualifications mentioned in Section 4 of C. 473. Repatriation, on the other hand, may be had under various statutes by those who lost their citizenship due to: (1) desertion of the armed forces; (2) service in the armed forces of the allied forces in World War II; (3) service in the Armed Forces of the United States at any other time; (4) marriage of a Filipino woman to an alien; and (5) political and economic necessity. As distinguished from the lengthy process of naturalization, repatriation simply consists of the taking of an oath of

allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines and registering said oath in the Local Civil Registry of the place where the person concerned resides or last resided. Repatriation is not a matter of right, but it is a privilege granted by the State.

  1. Discuss the Modes of acquiring citizenship

There are two modes of acquiring citizenship. The first one is involuntary, wherein citizenship is determined by birth. It could be jus sanguinis-by virtue of blood relationship or jus soli- by place birth. The second mode is voluntary. It could be through naturalization that formally adopting a foreigner into the political body of a nation by clothing them with the privileges of a citizen. Also, it could be through the means of marriage and election.
