Naturalization: the acquisition of citizenship or nationality by someone who was not a citizen or national of the country when he or she was born.

[kenji321]

Ano ba ang ground ng naturalization? Kase ang pagkakaalam ko pwede kang maging natural citizen pag may blood ka na filipino, nag asawa ka nang filipino at namalagi ka nang matagal sa Pilipinas. Tsinek ko kase sa wikipedia eh bigla na lang pala syang sumulpot bigla at naging natural citizen na lang nang bigla.

Pag meron kang doubt or matinding evidence pumunta ka sa BI at mag file ng formal complaint.

In February 2011, former Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas executive director Noli Eala announced that Douthit's application for Filipino naturalization has already been transmitted for signature to the office of Philippine President Benigno Aquino III. Thirty days after February 9, the day the application reached the president's office at Malacañan Palace, Douthit would secure his Filipino citizenship with or without Aquino's signature.

In March 11, 2011, Antipolo Second District Congressman Robbiery Puno said that House Bill 2307, which grants Filipino citizenship to Douthit, lapsed into law after President Aquino failed to sign it.

Douthit's eligibility to play for the Smart Gilas Pilipinas national basketball team was confirmed by FIBA Sport and Eligibility committee head Ivanka Toteva in June 2011. With the confirmation, Douthit will be allowed to represent the Philippines as a naturalized player in all FIBA sanctioned events.

Yung mga Makabayan (daw) group ang kumontra sa bill na yan, sila Casiño, et al.
Mabuti at tinalo sila sa botohan sa kongreso.

Mukhang matino naman si Douthit, hindi tulad nung ibang imports na kups on and off the court.






In an interview with reporters, Antipolo Rep Robbie Puno, author of the bill, defended the grant of citizenship.

"The legislative way (of granting citizenship) has absolutely no guidelines because the spirit of the law is that we in Congress are allowed to exercise our sound judgement and discretion. It is totally reliant on our sound discretion," he said.

Puno explained that under the new rules of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the Philippines, like any other country, is entitled to enlist a naturalized citizen in the national team.

“If we are not going to use this prerogative, we are not going to regain our lost basketball glory," Puno said.

The naturalization of players started in the 1980s under the initiative of then Ambassador Danding Cojuangco.

Three Americans – Jeff Moore, Dennis Still and Chip Engelland – were granted naturalization, and they helped the RP team win the Asian Basketball Confederation (now known as FIBA Asia Championship) in 1985.

The three naturalized players also backstopped the RP-Northern Consolidated Corporation in becoming the first guest squad to win a championship in the Philippine Basketball Association that same year.

Puno also noted that even the United States was represented by a Nigerian player, Houston Rockets star center Hakeem Olajuwon, at the 1994 World Basketball Championship in Canada.

Wow. ganun lang? Hindi ba parang may error ang ganun? Parang over exercise ng power? Tulad ng kung may gusto kang kunin na maging filipino citizen eh gagawa ka lang ng bill sa congress na etong taong ito ay gagawin nating filipino citizen at exempted na sila dun sa mga requirements para maging US citizen. In an instant filipino citizen ka na.

"The legislative way (of granting citizenship) has absolutely no guidelines because the spirit of the law is that we in Congress are allowed to exercise our sound judgement and discretion. It is totally reliant on our sound discretion," he said. === nakakatakot din ang part na ito. yung no guidelines at we're allowed to exercise our sound judgement and discretion. Parang pwede mong baliin o tapalan ang isang batas for your favor.

[frigate]

bakit di na lang si lebron ang kunin natin. hehehe!

dadaan pa rin naman sa plenaryo yan pagbobotohan parin ng mga tongressman kung ipapasa ba nila ang bill at kapag napasa nila at may kokontra pa pwede ka pa rin mag protesta sa SC
