British citizenship

[Mystica]

Right here we go, Ems has hers so do we apply for the passport straight away or wait till after Xmas, now if we can go to the Phil's for a holiday over Xmas am I right in thinking , we use Ems Phil's passport and when we land back here we just show the ILr card and all is well, Ems thinks now she is British the card is not valid anymore so whey will not let her into the country again

Does she have ILR or Citizenship already?

I am confused because you mentioned ILR and the subject is British Citizenship!

If she only have ILR she can travel using her Philippine passport. But if she has her Citizenship, there's a time limit for her to take the oath.
If she has already taken the oath, she can no longer use her Philippine passport, as the minute she takes the oath for the British Citizenship, they will contact the Philippine Embassy and forward her documents declaring she is now British Citizen therefore, they will update on their system that she no longer has right using her Philippine passport because she is no longer Filipino Citizen.

Not so Mystica ..I know this from experience when wife got her's last a year ago last March 2012...If her Philippine Passport is still in date, she can still use it going there and coming back..not mix and match

Well! I did not take risk on this because I was told by the Philippine Embassy there's a time frame for us to claim dual citizenship or drop the Filipino Citizenship. In which, they will deactivate the validity of your passport. Unless you make an effort to inform them you intend to use the Philippine passport therefore you should take the oath for dual citizenship.
