Re: British dad,filipino born daughter,birth register?
well surprise surprise, no response to being able to get an income. especially as it such a desperate situation!!
I am getting to the point now when ever I see a pinay hard luck story on here it tells me one thing and its not good)
I never thought that after 14 years here that I could get any more cynical, yet on a daily basis I out do myself)

Yes i have heard so many "hard luck" stories, you never know which ones to believe. I just want to say thanks to you for making the offer, not many people can make such an offer and even less would even make the offer you did.

UPDATES
So - to update things got even more difficult in the UAE so we got out - used our sons philippines passport in the end with an exit pass issued by immigration.
So we are now here in Philz. Been here 4 weeks and knew the second we landed was the right decision. Career wise now seeking a new adventure. Will not be returning to the GCC. Had enough Arab Culture now for a lifetime I am afraid. But that is all a different story.
On the passport side. I wrote to my MP and highlighted the issues faced and the fact that the passport office does not mention the Cenomar requirements until after you have submitted... etc etc etc
Within a week i was contacted to say that the cenomar had been authenticated and passport on way. Coincidental to MP letter i somewhat doubt.
The emails arrived a day after we had flown out of the UAE- so too late
Still, i had a brother in law collect it from DHL who were happy to do so with a letter of authority from me which i send by email He then dhl the passport to us here.
Total time from application to issue?
application sent 11 May - Passport released 19th July -
Confident also that this time line was reduced only by CONSISTENT CALLS AND EMAILS AND the action of the MP letter
Fortunately for me we had the resources to sit on the phone for hours... skype is great for this
good luck to all in same situation. please feel free to ask anything if i can help

Re: British dad,filipino born daughter,birth register?
yes you can get a filipino passport - my daughter has both a british passport and a filipino passport... the British passport was expensive, the filipino was not.
When leaving, just show both passports... each one has different benefits (no problems when leaving).

Thank you for your reply. But also, when you applied for a filipino passport.
And if they also asked you to apply for retention and reacquiring filipino citizenship. Because, i dont know why i have to get that when im filipino and i lived here all my life.and if u like to apply for filipino passport its optional. And the dual certificate is very expensive. Compare to getting my filipino passport instead.and it would be easier to travel with 2 passport. Did you get the certificate as well?
Do they asked if you are a foreign passport holder?

did not need a dual cert - just applied for the filipino one with the filipino birth cert - no problems at all... took about 2 weeks for the appointment...
Don't you need a filipino passport to leave the country? If you tried to leave on the british one, you have no entry stamp and only allowed to stay for X number of days (I could be wrong, but this is how i understood it).

Can i have 2 passports instead of applying dual certificate/retention of citzenship? 2 passport serves as proof as citenship. Were there will be.no problem.going out the country?

Re: British dad,filipino born daughter,birth register?
No need for certificate, all you need are the passports, example if you travel to London, use phil passport on exit from manilla, use uk passport on arrival at heathrow. Then uk passport departing uk, and phil passport on arrival in Manila. Entry/exit stamps dont really matter if the passport is of the country you are entering. My previous wife was Nigerian and did this all the time. The passport is proof of your right to enter the country.

Hello,
I have a question on how can i get my 15 months daughter a British Passport. Her father is British but we are not married. Her father acknowledge her birth certificate and signed on it. I already got her a Filipino passport but I dont know how is the process and requirements for her to get a British Passport. We are not in good terms with my British ex-bf but I have constant contact with his Mother residing in the UK.
Hoping to hear for some answers from you guys. Thank you in advance.
