A quick question if anyone could help please. Would a baby born in the Philippines to a Filipino mother British father be entitled to a UK passport?

Also can someone explain the situation regarding birth certificates in the Philippines. I have heard rumours the original needs to be NSO (?) approved and this can take a year before a baby can get a passport of any description, Philippines or UK.

Can anyone advise on therse points please.

Thank you for your help.

Best wishes to all.
