Hi could you elaborate further on this.

You say you are a British Citizen born in Manila.

Did you acquire this due to one of your parents being British or naturalised in the UK?

Or did you yourself acquire British Citizenship by being naturalised here in the UK?

And if you are British then why bother getting your son a Philippine passport when he will be eligible for a full British passport, then in the future he won't have problems traveling the world and needing to get visas everywhere.

I think Steve, if he (the OP) is a British citizen born in Manila, his kids won't be eligible for a British passport right away unless they are born in the UK. I'm sure Joe has posted that before, regarding kids of British by descent. Joe will correct me if I'm wrong.
