Filipino nationality but she is also a US citizen for she is living in the United States and also a legal citizen of that now let's discuss the modes in acquiring citizenship there are two recognized forms in acquiring citizenship Viper's and naturalization Viper's is further subdivided into two weeks first is what we call yachts Ollie it is a Latin term which means the law of the soil this is a
