Having thus taken the required oath of allegiance to the Republic and having registered the
same in the Civil Registry in accordance with the aforecited provision, respondent Cruz is
deemed to have recovered his original status as a natural-born citizen, a status which he

allows him to recover, or return to, his original status before he lost his Philippine citizenship.
Petition is dismissed.
