I thought The Philippines didn’t allow dual citizenship.

The Philippines does recognize Dual Citizenship.

Republic Act 9225 otherwise known as the Citizenship Retention and Reacquisition Act of 2003 (more popularly known as the Dual Citizenship Law) enables former natural-born Filipinos who have become naturalized citizens of another country to retain/reacquire their Philippine citizenship by taking an oath of allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines before a Philippine Consular Officer. Upon retaining or reacquiring their Philippine citizenship, they shall enjoy full civil, economic and political rights as Filipinos.

@mybjon’s mom could be considered an RA 9225 Dual Citizen if she was naturalized

@mybjon

A year after giving birth to me, she decided to get ROC passport. And because she was considered as 無戶籍國民 National without Household Registration by that time and also a taiwanese by descent, she was able to get roc passport right away in manila. She worked in taiwan for years and later got her taiwan ID.

So, the question might be whether MECO considers the mother a naturalized ROC citizen. @mybjon should ask them for advice.

Is it just me, or there’s a problem in TECO Manila?

Not just you. I’ve had mostly difficult experiences with TECO Manila over the past 30 years. Fortunately, I have had mostly constructive and positive experiences with MECO Taipei
