The Philippine Embassy in Washington DC is aware of another viral video falsely claiming that the U.S. government has announced a crackdown on dual citizens starting October 2025. This is not true.
As stated in our previous advisory, the U.S. government has not implemented any policy changes regarding dual citizenship. The United States continues to recognize that individuals may hold citizenship in more than one country. There is no new policy requiring dual citizens to renounce another nationality, nor is there a “crackdown” underway.
We urge the Filipino community to verify information through official government sources, avoid sharing unverified content, and report false information to the platform where it is published.
Please do not make legal decisions, such as renouncing your Philippine citizenship, based on social media content. Renunciation of Philippine citizenship is a serious, irreversible legal action.
For questions, please contact the Philippine Embassy or your nearest Philippine consulate.
