    I don't think that's the case. My passport which was renewed in London states the same thing, and yet I don't have a dual citizenship yet.

    Technically, once your wife/partner gets a British citizenship, her Filipino passport would be null and void. But since there's no one checking in the Philippine Embassy for such (not even a process or the need to report such changes), they just renew your passport after you re-acquire the Filipino citizenship.

    Quite right Rayna.
    As soon as a Filipino takes the oath for British Citizenship then according to Filipino laws their Filipino Citizenship has been lost and they are no longer eligible for the passport.

    The last oath taken must be Philipinnes under a special law that allows reaquisition and retention of Filipino citizenship.

    As we all know many folks have their British Passports in addition to their current/old Filipino passport. There are no checks in the system. The passport may even get renewed.
    However technical it's not a valid passport.
    Technically the holder is no longer a Philippine citizen.
    This may hold issues

    Thank you for a more positive explanation Rayna.
