Citizenship refers to membership in a political community that is personal and permanent. Citizenship implies a duty of allegiance to the state from the citizen and a duty of protection from the state. A citizen enjoys full civil and political rights within a democratic community, while an alien residing in a country is entitled to some protections but not full citizenship rights. There are two primary modes of acquiring citizenship - jus sanguinis, based on a blood relationship to a citizen parent, and jus solis, based on one's place of birth. Naturalization involves adopting an alien as a citizen. The Philippines follows both jus sanguinis and naturalization for citizenship.

Citizenship involves membership in a political society that implies duties of allegiance and protection. There are various ways to acquire citizenship, such as by birth in a country (jus soli) or descent from citizen parents (jus sanguinis). Citizenship can also be acquired through naturalization which makes a foreigner a citizen. Citizens have rights like suffrage but also duties like obeying laws and defending the state. Losing citizenship can occur voluntarily like gaining a foreign citizenship or involuntarily like being declared a deserter.
No, the status of the child born under the 1935 Constitution is not material in determining his citizenship. Under the 1973 Constitution, any person born before January 17, 1973 of a Filipino mother is considered a natural-born Filipino citizen, regardless of whether the parents were married or not. Since Fernando Poe Jr. was born before 1973 to a Filipino father and an American mother, he is considered a natural-born citizen of the Philippines based on the 1973 Constitution. His parents' marital status is not relevant to determining his citizenship status.

6. 3.1 What is Citizenship?
Citizenship is personal and more or less permanent membership in
a political community. It denotes possession within that particular
political community of full civil and political rights subject to special
disqualifications such as minority.
This status confers upon the individual certain prerogatives which
may be denied the alien. Thus, the citizen enjoys certain exclusive
rights, such as the rights to vote, to run for public office, to exploit
natural resources, to operate public utilities, to administer educational
institutions, and to manage the mass media. Commonly, it imposes
the duty of allegiance to the political community.
7. 3.2 Factors Determining Citizenship.
Modern law recognizes these modes of determining citizenship
1. Parents are citizens
JUS SANGUINIS meaning (right of blood) – that citizenship is granted based
on ancestry or ethnicity, and is related to the concept of a nation state common in
Europe.
➢ If a person has both parents who are citizens of a given state, the person is normally
a citizen of that state as well.
➢ A person could be born outside of the physical territory of a country, but if his or her
parents are citizens, then the child is a citizen as well. States normally limit the right
to citizenship by descent to a certain number of generations born outside the state.
This form of citizenship is common in civil law countries.
8. 2. Born within the Philippines
JUS SOLI (right of soil) which is the legal principle that a person’s
nationality at birth is determined by the place of birth. Example,
the territory of a given state.
➢ A person becomes a citizen of a state where he is born irrespective
of the citizenship of the parents.
➢ A child born in the Philippines of foreign parents is a Filipino. -
One born in the Philippines of American parents is also a Filipino
Citizen.
(Section 3. Philippine citizenship may be lost or reacquired in the
manner provided by law)
9. 3. Marriage to a citizen
Citizenship can also be obtained by marrying a citizen which
is termed Jure Matrimonii.
➢Marriage of a Filipino Citizen (whether male or female) to
an alien spouse does not make Filipino an alien nor the
husband or wife, an alien, a Filipino.
➢The Filipino citizenship is retained unless by the act or
omission of the Filipino, renouncing his or her citizenship.
10. 4. Naturalization
➢States normally grant citizenship to people who have
immigrated to that state and have resided there for the
given number of years. Sometimes aspiring citizen may
have to pass a test, swear allegiance to their new state and
renounce their prior citizenship.
➢The present Naturalization law of the Philippines is
Commonwealth Act No. 473.
11. (Commonwealth Act No. 473
An act to provide for the acquisition of Philippine citizenship by
naturalization, and to repeal acts numbered twenty-nine hundreds
and twenty-seven and thirty-four hundred and forty-eight.)
- The renunciation if the former nationality and the fact of entrance
to similar relationship towards a new body politic.
(Section 4. Citizens of the Philippines who marry aliens shall
retain their citizenship, unless by their act or omission they are
deemed, under the law, to have renounced it.)

20. 3.3 Citizens of the Philippines
Hence, based on Article IV, Section 1 (2) of our 1987 Constitution, the
basic rule on citizenship in the Philippines, irrespective of the place of
birth, is that a person born of either a Filipino father or a Filipino mother
shall be considered a Philippine citizen following the jus sanguinis rule.
Unlike the rule in American law, however, where the Congress cannot
strip a person of his citizenship absent his voluntary renunciation, our
Constitution expressly provides that 'Philippine citizenship may be lost or
reacquired in the manner provided by law. “Thus, our Congress can
provide for specific grounds that could result in loss of one's Philippine
citizenship such as those provided under Commonwealth Act No. 63.
21. 3.3 Citizens of the Philippines
Alexander L. Lacson is a Filipino bestselling author of patriotic books,
a poet, lawyer, businessman, civil society leader, and NGO leader. He is
best known as the bestselling author of the book "12 Little Things Every
Filipino Can Do to Help Our Country.
After Lacson and his wife chose to stay in the Philippines instead of
moving abroad, they decided to promote the idea that conditions in the
Philippines could be improved if individual Filipinos stayed in their
homeland and took action. Lacson reasoned: "The answer is in us as a
people; that hope is in us as a people. When he published a 108-page
book titled 12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do to Help Our
Country, it struck a nerve among many Filipinos.
22. The 12 "little things" are:
1. Follow traffic rules. Follow the law.
Whenever we are on the road obeying traffic rules and
using common sense are essential. Traffic rules are in place
to help protect you and others while operating a vehicle on
the road. Be mindful of the following; Observe speed limit,
be mindful of traffic signs and signals, signal your
intentions and pass with care and only where allowed.
23. The 12 "little things" are:
2. Whenever you buy or pay for anything, always ask for an
official receipt.
It is very important to ask for an official receipt for it will help
you separate chargeable and non-chargeable income and
identify your actual deductions if there is any.
It can also help you to keep track of deductible expenses most
especially in business, keeping receipts of all your transactions
will help you claim all of your possible deductions.
24. The 12 "little things" are:
3. Don’t buy smuggled goods. Buy local. Buy Filipino.
A good Filipino citizen we are obliged to support our own products as for buying
local products means that you support yourself too, when you spend your money
on a locally-owned business instead of a multinational brand, your money goes to
purchasing other service providers, farms, and businesses which strengthens the
country’s economic base. (….)
As a consumer, you’ll have access to wider options when you shop from locally
owned businesses, who are more in tune with what the community needs and
wants at a fair price. International companies develop products based on sales
targets and profits more importantly, without keeping the diversity of the
community in mind. This is why more Filipino businesses are creating unique,
thoughtful products to cater to a smaller niche but with a bigger impact. Be wiser
and think about the next time you’re making a decision about where to spend your
money. Going local is always the better choice.
25. The 12 "little things" are:
4. When you talk to others, especially foreigners, speak positively about us
and our country.
Essentially, we Filipinos can be proud of our humanity. We are a highly-
relational people, proficient in emotionally and socially connecting with
others. Our innate humanity is very much apparent in the caring ways we
interact with those close to us including others outside our kin circle. In fact,
this trait is one of the distinct assets of millions of Filipino doctors, nurses,
care givers, and nannies who work abroad. Aside from which, we Filipinos
are creative though being creative is not an exclusive trait possessed only by
Filipinos, what makes ours distinct is the artistry, expressiveness,
spontaneity, and humor that altogether define Filipino creativity. (….)
26. The 12 "little things" are:
5. Respect your traffic officer, policeman, and soldier.
There is nothing like the power of respect. It makes a
person proud. It makes one feel honorable. At the same time,
courtesy to others is good manners. It is class and elegance
and kindness. It is seeing the value and dignity in the other
man. It is, in fact, a mark of a most profound education.
27. The 12 "little things" are:
6. Do not litter. Dispose of your garbage properly. Segregate.
Recycle. Conserve.
Do not litter. Dispose your garbage properly. Segregate.
Recycle.
Conserve. As Louis Armstrong says in his song: "I see trees of
green, red roses, too, I see them bloom for me and you and I
think to myself, what a wonderful world."
28. The 12 "little things" are:
7. Support your church.
➢ You can see your church become more fully effective
by becoming part of the solution. Be the change you
want to see. Here are five ways you can help to
support your church.
29. The 12 "little things" are:
Support your church.
➢ Be Committed. The best way to make your church better is to be there
consistently and faithfully.
➢ Be on Time. Get up early on Sunday morning and be at church on time. If we
were as punctual at work as we were at church, I wonder how long many of
us would keep our jobs. If you’re supposed to serve in a particular area,
make a special effort to not only be on time, but be early. Give the attention
to that ministry that you would to something you value such as your job or
your favorite hobby.
30. The 12 "little things" are:
Support your church.
➢ Be Positive. Come to church with a smile. I’m not saying be plastic or
inauthentic. If you’re suffering through a crisis, the church should be the first
place to cry. Come ready to love and forgive and hug and forbear. Come to
church ready to forgive small and big slights. Also, be pro-church.
➢ Be Prepared You can prepare with prayer. Before you walk in the doors, you
might pray for your pastor and the staff. Pray for the Spirit’s presence to be
strong in the service and in the preaching. Bathe the entire church body in
prayer. Think of some of the neediest members in your church and commit
their needs to prayer.
31. The 12 "little things" are:
8. During elections, do your solemn duty.
During elections, do your solemn duty. -- Honesty, more than a
masteral or doctorate degree, is what gives credibility. And
credibility is essential because it is a leader's link to the people.
It is what makes the people look to one direction, follow a
common vision, and perform a uniform act. In short, credibility
is what makes people follow the leader.
32. The 12 "little things" are:
9. Pay your employees well.
No exercise is better for the human heart than to reach down
and lift someone else up. This truly defines a successful life. For
success is the sum, not of our earthly possessions, but of how
many times we have shown love and kindness to others.
33. The 12 "little things" are:
10. Pay your taxes.
In 2003, P83 billion was collected from individual income
taxes. But 91 percent of this amount came from salaried workers
from the government and private sector, people who had no
choice since their income taxes were withheld mandatorily. Only
P7 billion of the P83 billion came from businessmen and
professionals like doctors, lawyers, accountants and architects,
among others.
34. The 12 "little things" are:
11. Adopt a scholar or a poor child.
You can make a difference in the future of our
country by making a difference in the world of
children.
35. The 12 "little things" are:
12. Be a good parent. Teach your kids to follow the law
and love our country.
Today's children will someday rule and lead this
world. But whether they will be bad rulers or good
leaders will depend largely on how we raise them today.
Our future is in the hearts and minds of our children.
