1) Karlo Katigbak was a natural-born citizen of the Philippines.

He went to the United States of

America and embraced American citizenship. He re-acquired Filipino citizenship when he came
back. Is he qualified to run for Senator under the law?
There are probably no consistent answers to your question. Philippine politics has experienced
this conflict of its politicians with dual citizenship, and criticism as well as tolerance has been on
both sides. From my recall of media and Phil history, politicians at that level (Senate, etc.) must
first be Philippine citizens and cannot also be U.S. citizens (even though the Philippines allows
(and encourages) its citizens to have their Phil citizenship restored after being naturalized as U.S
citizens. The last time this issue became public, there were a few high level politicians with dual
citizenship and a fair amount of criticism of them being in violation of Philippine laws (or at
least in violation of rules for political office).
2) Kim Chu, a deaf-mute, resided in the Philippines for more than ten years. Can she be
naturalized in the Philippines? Why? Decision: It is not enough that she had resided in the
Philippines for more ten years or more. The 10 years should be continuous She must be NOT
LESS THAN 21 years of age If she is deaf-mute, what language can she use to write? Only
Spanish or English or whatever language from the many native Philippine languages like
ilocano, tagalog, hiligaynon, etc can be accepted. If she only knew how to read and write in
Chinese, it will not be accepted. She must own a real state in the Philippines or must have some
known lucrative trade, profession, or lawful occupation; She must have no bad record from the
police, NBI, Municipality or Barrangay records The 10 years can be shortened to 5 years if she is
married to a Filipino citizen. The owner one of Baguio city’s oldest and known restaurant,
Luisa’s cafe is actually a naturalized Chinese married to a Filipino. There are easier paths for
naturalization, If she have some Filipino ancestry somewhere like one of her grandparents By
asking some congressman to sponsor a bill for her naturalization in the congress like what they
have done and are doing to some athletes in basketball or football in order for them to be able
to play for the Philippine national team. She cannot be naturalized if she is an anarchist.
Examples: Lat year (2020) a bill was filed for the naturalization of the ff 2 football players. The
Philippines have no footballing tradition, (very very few fans too, unlike in indonesia, thailand
and vietnam) to have better players, the various football teams and even the Philippine national
team, have to rely on foreigners and some Filipinos who were born, grew up and learned
football in other countries. Bienvenido Marañon, Spanish and Robert Lopez Mendy, Senegalese.
They may not be the top players in their country of origin but in south esat asia, they can be.
Bienve Marañon is among the top scorers in south east-asia and in 2020, their club ceres-
negros become the number one club in south east asia by AFC ranking.
3) Kim Tae-hee is a Korean Citizen. She gives birth to Seo Woo while having a vacation in
Boracay. She is unmarried that time. What is the citizenship of Seo Woo? Why? Seo Woo is a
korean also because her mom is a korean citizen despite where she was born because it doesnt
state in the situation that she is being registered here in the Boracay
CASE : a police officer knocked at the door of the house owned by Ms. Maria Clara. Mr. de la
Cruz got inside when the door was opened. He was offered water and while Ms. Clara was
getting it, Mr. de la Cruz searched the place. Assuming that Mr. Juan de la Cruz obtain anything,
is the search valid? Why?
This is not valid because the officer does not have any warrant for the place.
