Oh, by the way nparvus1202, I have a very good example in here just happen recently. My filipina friend went to the Philippines to spend christmas with her family.She's a naturalised British citizen. Never applied for retention/reacquisition for her filipino citizen. She used her Phils passport, she entered the country without trouble at all. But during her return in this country she was been stopped by immigration officer in NAIA and was been told that she's not a filipino anymore because she is a naturalised citizen of UK. So, the immigration officer discussed the meaning of life to her and she was been told to apply for retention/reacquisition if she wants to used her Phils. passport.
