There is no legal requirement for you to obtain British Citizenship
But there are advantages.
In short Yes.You need British Citizenship to be a dual citizen.
When you have been granted British Citizenship you are technivally no longer a Philippine citizen. You will of course still have your RP passport.
You will need to re-acquire Phils citizenship at a ceremony in Phil Embassy.
All is more cost I'm afraid.
