How to get a dual citizenship for a child that has a british father and a filipina mother

[jcelphick]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know how to get a dual citizenship for our child that has a british father and filipina mother currently both living here in the Philippines.

We will be visiting my family in the UK next year and we would like to get a british passport for my son. What do we need to do first? Do we need to apply for our child's british citizenship before getting him a british passport? What are the requirements?

Hoping for your help. Thanks.
