Those who are watching the first 100 days of the new administration can now start focusing their lens on President Benigno S. Aquino III’s coming visit to the United States in September - his first major official foreign trip. The decision to make the U.S. as his maiden foreign destination is not only symbolic but will have far-reaching implications not only on foreign policy but also on the so-called special relationship between a former colony and a superpower. In the long run, it will have broad implications on the Filipino people.

94 Year-old Fil-Am Oldest Philippine Dual Citizen Applicant in San Francisco

The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco reported that Consul General Marciano A. Paynor, Jr. administered the oath of allegiance to Mr. Oscar Lolarga Miles.

At age 94, Mr. Miles became the oldest Filipino American in the Bay Area to apply for Dual Citizenship under Republic Act 9225.

The law grants former natural-born Filipinos who have lost their Filipino citizenship through naturalization in a foreign county, the opportunity to retain or re-acquire their Filipino citizenship.
