In 2012, she leaves the Philippines and becomes a naturalized French citizen.

Which of the following statements best describes her status?

Choose the Best Answer

Retention under RA 9225 applies only to those who lose Philippine citizenship for naturalizing in a foreign country after the law took effect, so it does not cover Lira. Even with retention, Lira Santos cannot be considered a Philippine citizen for purposes of natural-born status because she is currently a French citizen, which disqualifies her. At birth, Lira Santos was a natural-born Filipino citizen; she remains a Philippine citizen after retention under RA 9225; she is eligible to run for President. At birth, Lira Santos was a natural-born Filipino citizen; she remains a Philippine citizen after retention under RA 9225; however, dual citizens are disqualified from holding the Presidency.
