Short answer

Philippine citizens who acquire foreign citizenship, such as Canadian citizenship, do not automatically lose their Philippine citizenship due to the dual citizenship law. However, you must apply for retention of your Philippine citizenship through the Bureau of Immigration. Fees and processing times may vary. Always verify current rules on official government or embassy sites as requirements can change.
