Yes,filipino citizen will not lose their citizenship if they applied for the Retention/Reacquisition. But you're no longer a citizen of the Philippines if you never applied for it. Same rules during my time and even at this time.

Retention/Reacquisition of Philippine Citizenship
Filipino citizens who have acquired foreign citizenship can retain/reacquire their Philippine citizenship by taking an oath of allegiance before a consul at the Philippine Embassy.
Following are the documentary requirements:

1. Two (2) completed Citizenship Retention and Reacquisition application form (Note: The applicant should sign his/her name as appearing in his/her foreign naturalization certificate or foreign passport. In case of change of name, the applicant should state the name appearing in the birth certificate or the old Philippine passport.)
