trivia question answer Do people born in the Philippines while it was still under U.S. control still have American citizenship?
    As a side note, Filipino's could and still can gain citizenship by serving in the US military. This avenue was a bit easier while the US maintained bases in the Philippines. [quote]Under the Nationality Act of 1940, aliens who served honorably in the armed forces for three years or more could be naturalized as US citizens without having to meet certain normal requirements of naturalization such as lawful admission into the United States for permanent residence. The Nationality Act of 1940, however, was repealed on 27 June 1952, effective 24 December 1952 by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 USC 1101 et seq) which contains many provisions similar to those of the 1940 Act, but in the case of an alien who served honorably in the armed forces for three years requires that he shall have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence. Under this law, aliens are normally admitted for permanent residence under the quota system.[/quote] https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/f/filipinos-in-the-united-states-navy.html (elburcher)

    They lost automatic citizenship in 1946, and it became necessary to apply for naturalization. Not that there are a lot of people to whom this applies! [quote]As the U.S. State Department explains: "Filipinos continued as non-citizen U.S. nationals until July 4, 1946 when, through Presidential Proclamation 2695, the United States recognized the Philippines as an independent nation." The Luce-Celler Bill, passed on July 2, 1946, granted both Filipinos and Indian immigrants the access to naturalization. More than 10,000 Filipinos who were in the United States before 1934 were able to receive naturalization as a direct result.[/quote] https://www.studycountry.com/wiki/are-filipinos-considered-us-citizens#google_vignette (looney_tunes)
