Entering the Philippines as RA 9225

Hello everyone,

I recently reacquired my Philippine citizenship and am now a dual citizen. Long story short, I lost my Philippine citizenship when I became a citizen of another country, but I recently reacquired it under RA 9225.

I wasn't able to get a Philippine passport because the information on my PSA birth certificate doesn't match the information on my old brown Philippine passport. The embassy told me that I need to obtain an NBI clearance before I can get a Philippine passport.

I want to travel to the Philippines for tourism, but I'm not sure whether I should present my RA 9225 documents when I enter the country. It seems like it could make things more complicated because I would need to enter as a Filipino, and I've heard that I may need an eTravel QR code when leaving the Philippines.

I'm also not sure what other complications I might encounter when entering or leaving the Philippines using my US passport while having RA 9225 dual citizenship.

Has anyone here traveled to the Philippines using their RA 9225 documents but without a Philippine passport? How was the immigration process when entering and leaving the country?

While I'm in the Philippines, I would also like to get a Philippine driver's license, register with SSS, and obtain my NBI clearance.

Has anyone gone through this process as a newly (maybe not newly to some people) reacquired dual citizen? Any advice or things I should be aware of would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
