What law applies to the offspring of former natural born Filipino citizens? E.g,. Half Filipinos? is dual citizenship the only option for land ownership? Thanks in advance po
@@suengnyanga7086 It depends if they child has acquired the Philippine citizenship by birth; that is, if one of the parents was still a Filipino citizen at the time of the child’s birth. Otherwise, the child can neither be considered as a Filipino citizen nor fall under the category of a former natural-born Filipino citizen.
@@YourLawyer hi Atty. Can a child of a former Filipino, example Hans: (half Filipino, half German) inherit land from his former Filipino mother? Example, mother Maria is a former Filipino, now a German citizen. Germany doesn't allow dual citizenship, so she can't be dual. Suppose she inherited 1 hectare of rural land (within the limit) from her parents, can she pass on that land to her German citizen child, Hans? Can the title be transferred to Hans or must he sell it? Is Hans considered as former Filipino or purely a foreigner? When Hans was born, Maria was still a PH citizen. Thanks po in advance.
Diyos ko kinakatakot ko pa naman attorney na mayroon ibang afam hindi titigil kapag hindi niya makuha ang kanyang property. Tapos mayroon din ibang Filipino na panay solsol na feeling concern sa afam pero hindi natin alam sobrang bait ang afam ay pera lamang ang kapalit niyang ibigay? at para kunbinsihin namakuha niya 💯 percent ang property at kahit hindi naman sa kanya nakapangalan. Ako na lamang naaawa sa afam pero wala akong magawa ay dahil pinaniwalaan niya ang ibang Filipino. I salute you Attorney sa videos niyo ay sobrang nakakatulong po ito sa batas ng Pilipinas.
It may be law that he cannot own the property but if he or she paid for the property and his or her spouse left for whatever reason he or she is not able to be reimbursed then it is legal theft.
The resort is a business if it is registered as such and I assume that a foreigner can be a part owner with a filipino in doing business in the Philippines. So I think the Briton has the right to at least object or take part in the lease agreement.
Hello, Attorney! Can you make a video po about what legal benefits will marrying a Filipina bring to a foreigner? Will they be allowed to live permanently in the Philippines now that they are married to a Filipina, etc... Thanks and more power!

So if a Filipina marries a foreigner and they build a house on land she bought. Then the Filipina dies, what will happen to the land? Do they have to give it to a relative?
Hi. If the couple has a child/ children, then the child is the legal heir of the property (house & lot). If no child, the foreigner is the legal heir but he must sell the property "after a short amount of time". Usually, the property is sold to relatives of the Filipina. If they're on good terms, he can make arrangements to stay in the house or within the property (smaller structure) until his lifetime.
Good day po attorney.. May Tanong po Ako Eh Kung si jowa pong foreigner ang mag fifinance ng pag bili ng property pero si jowang Filipino ang ipapangalan sa property eh pwede po ba yun?

Pidi ba kunin ang ari - arian nila dito sa pinas po? Sana mapansin ang comment ko. Thank you, very much po.

Atty. what if the Filipino citizen married to a foreigner pass away? Will the family of the Filipino citizen have the right to take their property or the foreigner spouse will have the full legal rights with all their property including the land?
Hello po Attorney, meron din po akong afam from British, X fiance ko na po siya. Meron po kaming nabiling property dito sa Pilipinas at hindi pa po fully paid. Ngayon pursigido niya kunin ang kanyang pera at mga bagay na naipundar niya dito sa aming bahay. Gusto niya akong kasuhan. Ano po ang dapat kung gawin Attorney?

Hi! This is what I found from the Japanese embassy website: “2. Please be aware about the loss of Japanese nationality for a newborn. If one or both parents are Japanese nationals (or if an acknowledgement of prenatal paternity [Taiji Ninchi] has already been submitted for a child born between a foreign mother and Japanese father out of wedlock), the child born will have Japanese nationality by birth. However, if a child born abroad also acquires foreign citizenship by birth, a Birth Registration indicating an intention to reserve Japanese nationality must be submitted within 3 months or the child will lose Japanese nationality retroactively from the time of birth (Nationality Law Article 12). Counting from the birthdate, the deadline for the Birth Registration will be one day before they turn 3 months old. For example, the Birth Registration for a child born on April 1st will have a deadline one day before July 1st, which is June 30th. July 1st will be past the deadline, so please submit without delay. If the Birth Registration could not be submitted on time, the child has lost Japanese nationality. However, the child (while still a minor) can live in Japan and apply to acquire Japanese nationality at the Legal Affairs Bureau that has jurisdiction over their residence (Nationality Law Article 17(1)). If the registration could not be submitted within 3 months due to a long-term halt of traffic and mail delivery caused by natural disasters and such and there were no other means to submit the registration, an individual review may determine that the reason is not attributable to the submitter. In such instances, the Birth Registration may be accepted and the Japanese nationality may be recognized.”
According to the Japanese Embassy Website: “3. If you have multiple citizenships other than Japan, please choose a nationality. The Japanese Nationality Law is based on the principle of single nationality, so if you have Japanese and foreign citizenship and became a dual (or more) citizen before age 18, you must choose a nationality by age 20 or if you became a dual citizen after age 18, you must choose a nationality within 2 years (Nationality Law Article 14(1)). To choose Japanese nationality, you have the option to either renounce your foreign citizenship or declare Japanese nationality. If you renounced your foreign citizenship in accordance with the law of that country, attach the renunciation certificate and submit the Foreign Denaturalization Registration to the municipal office, Japanese Embassy or Consulate. For information on renouncing your foreign citizenship, please consult the government, embassy, or consulate of that country. To declare Japanese nationality, you will need to submit a Declaration Registration with intent to “choose Japanese nationality and relinquish foreign citizenship” to the municipal office, Japanese Embassy or Consulate. To declare foreign citizenship, you have the option to either renounce your Japanese nationality or declare foreign citizenship. To renounce your Japanese nationality, you must submit the Renunciation Registration along with all required documents including the Koseki Tohon to submit to the Legal Affairs Bureau, Regional Legal Affairs Bureau, Japanese Embassy or Consulate that has jurisdiction over your residence. If you declared foreign citizenship in accordance with the law of that country, attach the certificate of declaration and submit the Denaturalization Registration to the municipal office, Japanese Embassy or Consulate. Although the Japanese Nationality Law sets a deadline to choose nationality, please keep in mind that you are still obliged to choose even after this deadline.”
@@YourLawyer Atty. Therefore she is a foreigner and not a Filipina although her mother is a Filipina? Is she categorized as a “former filipino” or a foreigner Atty?
Pero atty. kung halimbawa kasal na yung Foreigner sa Filipina or Filipino tapos hindi naman sila nag hiwalay, may karapatan nadin ba makabili ng land property ang Foreigner nyan at mag may ari ng mga land na gusto nilang bilhin? kasi diba kung mapapansin nyo po ngayun meron ibang mga kilala na Foreigner na vlogger na nakapag asawa dito sa Pinas at meron na silang mga nabili ng land property my karapatan naba ang Foreigner dyan kung gusto pa nilang bumili at dagdagan ang property nila?
Please clarify my family situation…..all five children are American citizens and live in the USA for 30 yrs with no intention of returning back to the Philippines. Three of the kids are gays and have no kids and the two has their families. Here is my question: if the three of us who are gays and single dies, can the property that my parents own go to the families & siblings that are married? We have consulted our lawyer and he created a trust and testament stating that in any case one of the three dies that he can transfer the ownership to the remaining single family members. By the way the two siblings with their father are not in speaking terms for 30 yrs till current due to personal issues. Please advise…..
A will is your legal way to determine who receives your property on your demise. Since you already have it (trust and testament), you should be good. But if you are referring to a property situated in the Philippines, having your will probated in advance in the Philippines while you are still alive is a good idea. That way, you will already have the assurance that your will shall be followed in the settlement of your estate.
Aak klng po.....ung tita kp my foreigner husband wla po vlng anak, tpos my property po cla dito pinas. Unfortunately nmtay p ung tita ko, ngaun gusto ng foreigner husband n ibenta ung property.... legally pwde pb syang magbent or mgsign ng deeds of sell?....salamat s sagot
I am Filipino. I changed my name when I got naturalized. Will it be a problem if I purchase a property in the Philippines under my Philippine name? Need your advice.
Hello po Attorney, let me asked you po at kahit hindi po kasal at nakapangalan parin ang property sa Filipina ay wala din po talagang karapatan makuha ng afam ang property? Thank you 😊 and God bless po!!!
One doesn’t lose ownership of a piece of land simply because he/she got naturalized as a citizen of a foreign country. In fact, former Filipinos can acquire land in the Philippines. I discussed this matter in these videos: FILIPINO DUAL CITIZENS, FOREIGNERS & FORMER FILIPINO CITIZENS | LAND OWNERSHIP IN THE PHILIPPINES ua-cam.com/video/-QhfHOiveXU/v-deo.html FILIPINO DUAL CITIZEN | NO LIMITATION ON LAND OWNERSHIP IN THE PHILIPPINES? ua-cam.com/video/G7x-bZiUp_g/v-deo.html

Sir paano po Yung mga foreigner na nagpa dual citizenship foreigner sa likas na status at nagpa pilipino citizen paano po yon? Ibig ko po sabihin ay American na pilipino pa siya paano po yon pwede ba siya bumili ng lote sa rural and urban areas?
Heloo new subscriber po ako may tanung po ako atty. Sana po mapansin nyo may possible po mapa rentahan po ba ng unang husband ko yung bahay namin kasi nasa ibang bansa po ako pero ako po nag asekaso lahat mga taxes bayarin 2018 po siya umalis bigla po siya bumalik 2024 kasi nasa overseas po ako pero napaayos ko po yung bahay lahat ready to rent po ngayun po sabi ng sister ko ipapa rent niya yata yung house hindi pinaalam sa akin .
Good evening po, tanung ko lang po sana kung hal po ang pinay na asawa ay namatay na, pwede po ba mapunta sa asawa nya na foreigner ang lupa na napundar. Paano po ba ggawin para mapunta sa foreigner na husband ang napundar na lupa?
The foreign husband can inherit the property from a deceased Filipino wife. The heirs must execute a Deed of Extrajudicial Settlement of Estate. If only one heir, Affidavit of Self Adjudication.
Hello Attorney good day po.mai tanong ako.born philippines ako at nakapag asawa taga Australia at naging Australian citizen,hindi po ako dual. Puwede ba akong mag open bank account sa pilipinas?

Nang nag open ako nang bank account dyan, hindi ako pinayagan dahil hindi na daw ako Pilipino,dahil Australian na ako.gusto sanang maka pag ipon nang pera sa pinas while dito pa ako sa Australia.Attorney gusto ko sana manirahan sa pinas pag mag retired na ako.at aayusin ko ang dual soon bako mag retired
Phil law about owning a property in the Phil is too unfair for a foreigner or naturalized citizen while American law permits any immigrants to buy a house, won’t that be unfair, i find it very ridiculous
It is.. it is. But at the same time the law protects the land in the Philippines because unlike America, it is small. If they let foreigners to own land, then the rich foreigners will come and buy all the good land that Filipinos can't afford, and then nothing will be left for them. Then, the Filipinos will be foreigners in their own country.
Attorney ask for advice po... I owe money from bank and I issue check.. because of pandemic, I wasn't able to pay them... Would I be put in jail? What will be my consequence? Please need ur advice po.
The foreigner can own a condo unit, not land. If the foreigner buys land with his Filipino spouse, the title will be as such: Maria Cruz-Smith, Filipino national, married to John Smith, British national. The "married to" is a description only, John is not a co-owner of the land. If both were Filipino citizens, the title will say: spouses Juan Cruz and Maria Reyes-Cruz, Filipino nationals = meaning, both co-own the land. As a foreigner, you can lease land for 25 or 25+25 years. You cannot lease land from your spouse. Consider those things if you'll buy land/ property with your spouse = you must trust her enough. You can also consult a lawyer & ask to make a legal agreement (signed by both parties) as to what hapoens to the property in case the relationship ends.
Hi po. Dual citizenship po ako ng New Zealand.yong asawa ko po ay hiniwalayan ako para makuha yong pera na binayad nya sa house namin sa Pilipinas.

Conjugal property po b yon? Yong title po ay nasa name ko n it says married to my husband name.
Hi Josie! If your husband is a foreigner, that property that you bought during your marriage cannot be considered as a conjugal property or absolute community property. I discussed this matter in this video: ua-cam.com/video/fq3iKtHn05o/v-deo.html

One doesn’t lose ownership of a piece of land simply because he/she got naturalized as a citizen of a foreign country. In fact, former Filipinos can acquire land in the Philippines. I discussed this matter in these videos:

FILIPINO DUAL CITIZEN | NO LIMITATION ON LAND OWNERSHIP IN THE PHILIPPINES?

How about Filipinos who have another citizenship (not dual) who buys/ own lands in the Philippines? Are they considered foreigners?
I suggest that you watch this video po:

Good evening po, tanung ko lang po sana kung hal po ang pinay na asawa ay namatay na, pwede po ba mapunta sa asawa nya na foreigner ang lupa na napundar.
Paano po ba ggawin para mapunta sa foreigner na husband ang napundar na lupa?
The foreign husband can inherit the property from a deceased Filipino wife. The heirs must execute a Deed of Extrajudicial Settlement of Estate. If only one heir, Affidavit of Self Adjudication.

Phil law about owning a property in the Phil is too unfair for a foreigner or naturalized citizen while American law permits any immigrants to buy a house, won’t that be unfair, i find it very ridiculous
It is.. it is. But at the same time the law protects the land in the Philippines because unlike America, it is small. If they let foreigners to own land, then the rich foreigners will come and buy all the good land that Filipinos can't afford, and then nothing will be left for them. Then, the Filipinos will be foreigners in their own country.
Pwede po ba mag own 100% ang foriegn husband ng resort? If may kapital sya 200,000 USD?
Owning a resort practically involves owning a land. This, a foreigner cannot do under the Philippine law, except through hereditary succession.
Attorney ask for advice po... I owe money from bank and I issue check.. because of pandemic, I wasn't able to pay them... Would I be put in jail?
What will be my consequence?
Please need ur advice po.
How can a foreigner married to a Filipino lady own real property together legally in the Philippines?
The foreigner can own a condo unit, not land. If the foreigner buys land with his Filipino spouse, the title will be as such: Maria Cruz-Smith, Filipino national, married to John Smith, British national. The "married to" is a description only, John is not a co-owner of the land. If both were Filipino citizens, the title will say: spouses Juan Cruz and Maria Reyes-Cruz, Filipino nationals = meaning, both co-own the land. As a foreigner, you can lease land for 25 or 25+25 years. You cannot lease land from your spouse. Consider those things if you'll buy land/ property with your spouse = you must trust her enough. You can also consult a lawyer & ask to make a legal agreement (signed by both parties) as to what hapoens to the property in case the relationship ends.
Hi po. Dual citizenship po ako ng New Zealand.yong asawa ko po ay hiniwalayan ako para makuha yong pera na binayad nya sa house namin sa Pilipinas. May rights po b sya na sabihin sa akin na ibenta yong haus para makuha nya yong pera nya? Yong haus po ay di pa fully paid. May rights b yong anak nya na magmana ng parte nya? Pls help po. Conjugal property po b yon? Yong title po ay nasa name ko n it says married to my husband name.
Hi Josie! If your husband is a foreigner, that property that you bought during your marriage cannot be considered as a conjugal property or absolute community property. I discussed this matter in this video:
