The bold words are the ones we are going on. My wife isn't a former Filipino. She is still a Filipino, and has lost nothing.

I think the act you quote deals with Filipinos who took foreign citizenship before the above act came into power, so they did lose the Filipino citizenship, but can now have it back.
Filipinos who took foreign citizenship before the Act took effect (Sept 2003) can reclaim their Filipino citizenship and retain theirs if they took other citizenship after Sept. 2003 and has to apply for Petition for Dual Citizenship and Issuance of Identification Certificate (IC) pursuant to RA 9225.
I am on the same situation as your wife Paul and might keep my passport as it hasn't expired yet but will we be considered DUAL CITIZEN if we didn't apply for a petition to be Dual and have the Identification Certificate?
