The only thing that I can think of is the application for Philippine naturalization (citizenship).

The major qualifications include:-

- Must not be less than 21 yrs of age
- 10 years continuous residence (5 years if married to Phil citizen)
- Must be of good moral character and believe in the principles underlying the Philippine Constitution, and must have conducted themselves
in a proper and irreproachable manner during the entire period of residence in the Philippines in his/her relation with the constituted
government as well as with the community in which he/she is living.
- Ability to read and write English or Spanish AND any one of the principal Philippine languages
- Must have enrolled minor children of school age, in any of the public schools or private schools recognized by the Office of Private
Education of the Philippines, where the Philippine history, government and civics are taught or prescribed as part of the school curriculum,
during the entire period of the residence in the Philippines required of them prior to the hearing of the petition for naturalization as
Philippine citizen.
