Citizenship by birth is obtained either through jus soli, meaning being born in the Philippines, or jus sanguinis, deriving citizenship from one's parents.

    What are the modes in acquiring Philippine citizenship?

    There are two (2) generally recognized forms of acquiring Philippine


    citizenship:

    1. Filipino by birth
    1. Jus soli (right of soil) which is the legal principle that a
    persons nationality at birth is determined by the place of
    birth (e.g. the territory of a given state)
    2. Jus sanguinis (right of blood) which is the legal principle
    that, at birth, an individual acquires the nationality of
    his/her natural parent/s. The Philippine adheres to this
    principle.
    2. Filipino by naturalization which is the judicial act of adopting a
    foreigner and clothing him with the privileges of a native-born
    citizen. It implies the renunciation of a former nationality and the
    fact of entrance into a similar relation towards a new body politic
    (2Am.Jur.561,par.188).
