Marin Lopez, born in Cebu City to Filipino parents, left the Philippines at age 7 and later became a citizen of the United Kingdom by naturalization. She never filed to retain Philippine citizenship. She is now 32 and applies for admission to the Philippine Bar. Which statement best reflects the controlling doctrine on citizenship for admission to the practice of law, and what steps and documents would she need to become eligible, if any?

Choose the Best Answer

Reacquire Philippine citizenship under the Citizenship Retention and Re-acquisition Act of 2003 (RA 9225) by filing with the Bureau of Immigration and presenting: birth certificate; proof of former Philippine citizenship and its loss by foreign naturalization; proof of foreign citizenship; sworn oath of allegiance to the Philippines; and other documents as required; upon approval, the applicant is recognized as a Philippine citizen eligible for admission to the Bar. Instead of RA 9225, she must apply for a 'Certificate of Retention' of Philippine citizenship from the Bureau of Immigration before applying to the Bar. She remains a Philippine citizen by birth and does not need to reacquire; she may be admitted to the Bar upon submission of standard character and fitness requirements. She can be admitted after completing a licensure course for foreign lawyers and then taking the Philippine Bar exam.
