i am residing in the philippines my grandfather was a spanish citizen also my mother .what is my citizenship now

bigboy,
first of all you are a filipino citizen,
second you may be able to acquire spanish citizenship. but it will depend on some circumstances.
please answer the ff. questions.
in your filipino birth certificate, what citizenship did your mother register you?
also in your filipino birth certificate, is your mother registered as a spanish citizen?

i was registered as filipino,my mother was also written as filipina ,my father was the one who registered me

bigboy,
how did your mother become a spanish citizen?
was she born in spain?
if she was born in the philippines was she registered at the spanish embassy in makati by your grandfather when she was born?
did she have a spanish passport before you were born?

my grandfathers nationality certificate was issued on 24 of june 1946 upon his request,and so with my mother,this certificate is issued by a consul to enable to prove ones nationality.it depends on when you ask or renew your certificate of nationality.i only have my grandfathers passport number

bigboy,
what information does that certificate give about your grandfather and mother? is she still alive? she never had a spanish passport?

all it says is this;certifies that in the register of spanish citizens of this consulate there is an entry bearing number 157 folio 177 ano 1927 which says teresita bouffard y encarnacion born in cebu province of cebu on 10 october 1935 student single residing at————-and in order to prove her nationality this certificate is issued on 2/29 december 1950 signed consul general of spain vicente aparicio consul adjunto .......certificate of nationality number 1640.the same with my grandfather

regarding my grandfather i have an old document stating don luis bouffard y oliver arrived in the philippines december 15 1927 on board mv/delfringer with passport number 14268 from spain.my mother did not have a passport,but when she went to the consulate the consul told her to comeback to apply for her passport later as they were fixing the papers of my aunt ,my mothers sister as she was going out of the country.the consul told her to register us as spanish citizens of spain .

bigboy,
if the consul told her to go back and apply for her passport, why did she not do this? why did she not go back and register you as spanish citizens? when did this happen?

she is scheduled to go back to the spanish consul to register me my sister and 1 brother .she was not able to attend to our nationality because my father died and she sort of forgot about this.thats why i posted my query here,one of my question is if my grandfather and my mother is spanish citizen do i still have to live in spain for 1 year to get my citizenship?

bigboy,
when you are registered as spanish citizen at the spanish embassy, you will be issued a new spanish birth certificate. you need this to get a spanish passport. the spanish embassy will issue you this too, i do not know if they issue the spanish id card (dni) and social security number, if not then you will have to come to spain to apply for them.

do you speak spanish?

i speak a little but not fluent,my mother speaks very well,at present i am practicing my spanish

bigboy,
before you migrate to spain, i would suggest that you try to reach intermediate level while you are in the philippines and have your mother talk to you always in spanish. and learn a skill. i hope after two years the recession will be over and you can compete for jobs, it is not going to be easy. good luck.

thats what i am trying to do just now i hope i dont encounter problems ahead.thank you very much for the time you spent helping me. hasta la vista
