English: Under Republic Act No. 9255, those who retain or re-acquire their Philippine citizenship can be appointed to public office, provided that they swear an oath of allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines and renounce a prior oath of allegiance to another country. While this opened opportunities, it still poses a restriction to those who want to serve as faculty, researchers, or administrators in the country who still need to renounce the oath they took to another country.
Filipino: Sa ilalim kasi ng Republic Act No. 9255, maaaring mahirang sa public office ang mga nagpanatili or nag-re-acquire ng kanilang Philippine citizenship kung manunumpa sila ng katapatan sa Republika ng Pilipinas at tatalikuran nila ang panunumpa ng katapatan sa ibang bansa. Bagama't nagbukas ito ng oportunidad sa marami, nananatili itong sagabal sa mga nais maging guro, mananaliksik, at administrator sa bansa dahil kailangan pa rin nilang talikuran ang panunumpa nila ng katapatan sa ibang bansa.
