British citizenship

[Terpe]

On the other hand, I am now British and I have experienced this process.

So you're saying you've personally experienced the British Authorities informing the Philippine Authorities that you hold British Citizenship ??

YES! because the day I took the oath, I made a direct inquiry to the council and was informed that they do forward the documents to the Philippine Embassy informing them that I am now British. I don't really know if it is true or not, so I called the Philippine Embassy and I was told its okay to travel for certain period, because they haven't receive all the documents from our council. So I travel with my Philippine passport. While I am waiting for my British passport I went to Saudi and they held me for 9 hours in Jeddah the immigration told me that I have travelled with an invalid passport! So I had to go back to UK and wait for my British passport. Husband called the Philippine Embassy and inquire why my passport has been deactivated? Having been told that it will take sometime to cancel it on their system. So I went back to UK and waited for my British passport.
