Citizenship Oath Ceremony
It took me years to decide to apply for naturalization. It was late last year when I started my application. Passed my immigration interview last January and had my citizenship oath ceremony yesterday. Renouncing my Filipino citizenship is a little bittersweet.
With 350 candidates from 153 countries joined yesterday in its variety of ethnic groups that live and make this a country of multicultural diversity.
I am proud to say my new identity: I am a Filipino - American. I may have American citizenship but my heart and soul are pure Filipino.

Heartifying
Congrats Dhemz, big time! Amerkana na kaayo ka oi! Ang pagka-Filipino ang nangita ra sa beefloaf, corned beef, bulad ug pandesal! Nyahaha.
I'm sure that was a very memorable event. Lahi diay ang schedule sa interview of oath? Diri kay since layo ang venue, ginaisa nalang ang interview ug oath basta makapasa lang. Kami hopefully in 5 years maka-apply pud. For now, happy ra pa mi nga approved na among green cared ni bana. :) Blessing!
BPC hop! I love your outfit diay! Fave color naku! :)
Pasensya sa typo. Saon kaadlawon man mang-hop gud. LOL.

Mommy Congratulations!!!! Ako I still haven't decide when to apply. Wala pa pod ko ga study and still scared whether or not ka pasar ba ko, but I think the sooner the better na mo apply ko. You are looking good as well.
congratulations girl. you will surely contribute a lot as a citizen to your adoptive country.
i remember the same sentiment when my brother took his aussie, renouncing his fil-citizenship. (ako yata ang naiyak). however, he had said time and again, he'llsurely would want to retire here in our place.
(teary-eyed writing this...i'm missing my bunso brother^_^)
