The other big question, assuming there was a custody case (??), is how cooperative and helpful is mom inclined to be?  Assuming the children were born after mom naturalized and lost her Filipino citizenship(??).   If mom were to reacquire her Filipino citizenship she could also include her children in the application making them Filipino Citizens.

Is this true? Even if the mom reacquires her Filipino citizen after children were born, she can still apply them for Filipino citizenship? What's the process?

Mom can just include her children with her application when she reacquires Filipino citizenship. File a petition to include the children and pay the $35 fee.  https://newyorkpcg.org/pcgny/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Petition-for-Inclusion-of-Dependents-Under-RA-9225-1.pdf 

 

Only necessary for children born after a parent naturalized to the US but before they reaquired Filipino citizenship and therefore was not a Filipino citizen when the child was born.  If a parent was still a Filipino citizen at the time of the child's birth in the US, they merely need to file a Report of Birth with the consulate to claim the child's Filipino Citizenship.

Thank you!🙂 I'll let my daughter's dad do that for our 6yr old, since he's the dual.

This is only for minors, right? Can a mother do this if her child is already an adult?

 I'm pretty sure they still can even if the child is already an adult.  However, you would have to check with the consulate to get a definitive answer.
