As part of its information drive on dual citizenship services, the Philippine Consulate General in Frankfurt held its second info session on Republic Act 9225 (Citizenship Retention and Reacquisiton Act of 2003) at the parish hall of St. Andreas Church in Wiesbaden. The event aimed to inform the public of the procedures and requirements for applying for dual citizenship. Around a hundred people mostly former Filipinos and naturalized Germans attended the forum.
After their presentations, Deputy Consul General Rogelio Villanueva, Jr., Consul Cecille Joyce Lao and Mr. Alvar Rosales responded to questions during the open forum and individual queries after the program. The event in Wiesbaden was made possible with the support of Mr. Tony Naluz and council members of the Filipino Catholic Community in Wiesbaden and Filipino Chaplain Father Francis Ofrancia.
The Consulate has been receiving numerous applications for dual citizenship from former natural-born Filipinos and naturalized Germans since the German Law on the Modernization of Nationality Law (StARMoDG) took effect on June 27. END
