Hi there, I will receive my baby US passport & crba in next 2-3 weeks, so my baby is already US citizen living here in the Philippines "undocumented Filipino Citizen". He's 7 month old. What will I do next? Get him a Philippine passport? What passport I will use if he will leave in Philippines?thanks in advance

I'd register him as a Filipino citizen just so he'll have dual citizenship. Who knows, it may benefit him in the long run. You can get him a Philippine passport as well but you don't have to. It's quite a hassle to renew a passport here in the States because you will have to personally appear at the Philippine consulate that has the jurisdiction over your location, doesn't matter if you're hundred of miles away or you're closer to another consulate. He can leave the country using his American passport.
