51,000 expats obtain dual citizenship

AT least 51,000 expatriates have reacquired their Philippine citizenship under the Dual Citizenship Law, which took effect four years ago, Immigration Commissioner Marcelino Libanan said yesterday.

Libanan, a former congressman who was one of the authors of the law, directed an eight-member task force to expedite the processing of applications.

Task force head Arvin Santos said an applicant needs only to pay a processing fee of P3,000 and his or her application will be processed immediately if all the required documents have been submitted.
