    If given a chance to choose your citizenship, what citizenship would you choose? State your
    reasons.

    I would still choose to be a Filipino, and for personal reasons, one being that I have come to be
    proud to be a Filipino, despite the decisions of my fellow Filipinos.

    Explain
    Felicitas was born in 1986 to a Filipino mother and Swedish father. She has been living
    and continues to live in the US for the last 20 years and has also been naturalized as a
    US citizen. She recently reacquired Philippine citizenship under RA 9225, the
    Citizenship Retention and Reacquisition Act of 2003. Can Margarita vote in the next
    national elections?

    1. Yes. Dual citizens who are not residents may register under the Overseas
    Absentee Voting Law.
    2. Yes. Margarita is a Filipino citizen and thus may enjoy the right to suffrage like
    everyone else without registering as an overseas absentee voter.
    3. No. Margarita fails the residency requirement under Section 1, Article V of the
    Constitution for Filipinos.
    4. No. Dual citizens upon renunciation of their Filipino citizenship and acquisition of
    foreign citizenship, have practically and legally abandoned their domicile and
    severed their legal ties to their homeland as a consequence.

    Explain your answer

    Number Four. Dual citizens upon renunciation of their Filipino citizenship and acquisition of
    foreign citizenship, have practically and legally abandoned their domicile and severed their legal
    ties to their homeland as a consequence.
    Elaborate

    suffrage
