Both my parents were Chinese nationals at the time of my birth, 1969.
My father became a naturalized Filipino 1982.
My mother retained her Chinese Citizenship.
I acquired Filipino citizenship, because I am a minor and legitimate child of a Naturalized Filipino Citizen.
I don't think I acquired my Filipino citizenship of my own free will (thought I still wish to retain it after getting a HKSAR passport). The process was
automatic as stated in this Philippine law:

I don't remember taking any oath of allegiance of any sort when I was a minor.
Note that the Philippine nationality law is currently based upon the principles of “jus sanguinis” (right of blood) and therefore descent from a parent who is a citizen/national of the Republic of the Philippines is the primary method of acquiring Philippine citizenship.
Please feel free to comment on my ineligiblity, based on these findings.
