Jamesy ... like you, I'm Scottish and MY wife is ALSO from the Philppines. Last August, she became a naturalised British Citizen. This, in turn, entitled her to a British Passport; all well and good. However, it also meant [temporarily] renouncing her Philippines' Citizenship.

Now, due to the fact that she'd been a teacher for 22 years back home - and, in order to safeguard her Government Pension - it made sense for her to swear an Oath of Allegiance to become a dual citizen.

Philippines in the UK is, first and foremost, represented at its Embassy in London; in addition to which, I believe, there's a Consular presence in other major cities throughout the land.

One such Centre is located in *Edinburgh and, as it happens, my wife learned from a friend that *they'd arranged to conduct a series of Oathtaking Ceremonies (and simultaneously deal with Phils Passport renewals) by appointment only on Saturday 27 April, between the hours of 9.00am & 5.00pm - subject, of course, to prior completion of an appropriate online application.

So ... ... effectively, WE ended up getting "the best of BOTH worlds", you might say.
