Can I Keep My Filipino Citizenship if I Become a U.S. Citizen?
Generally yes, you can keep it
The Philippines allows dual citizenship.
Under the Citizenship Retention and Re-acquisition Act (Republic Act 9225), Filipinos who naturalize abroad can keep or reacquire Philippine citizenship by taking an oath of allegiance, usually at a Philippine consulate.
What the United States does
The United States allows dual citizenship. It does not require you to give up your previous citizenship to naturalize, and taking the Oath of Allegiance does not, by itself, make the U.S. treat your other citizenship as lost. Whether you actually keep it depends on the laws of your country of origin, described below.
Before you decide
Citizenship laws change, and your individual case can have details that matter. Before you naturalize, confirm the current rules with a the Philippines consulate or embassy, and consider speaking with an immigration attorney if keeping your other citizenship is important to you.
