                                <h4>Frequently Asked Questions on ROB:</h4><br>
                                <h5 style="font-weight: 600;">Is my child eligible to a Philippine citizenship even if he/she was born in Canada?</h5 style="font-weight: 600;">
                                <p>When a child is born abroad to parents who are both Filipino citizens or to one (1) parent who is a Filipino citizen,
                                    i.e. one who has not been naturalized as a citizen of a foreign country, the child is considered a Filipino citizen
                                    and the child’s birth must be immediately reported to the Philippine Embassy or Consulate which exercises
                                    jurisdiction over the place of birth.&ZeroWidthSpace;</p>
                                <h5 style="font-weight: 600;">When should I report the birth of my child to the Philippine Consulate General?</h5 style="font-weight: 600;">
                                <p>Ideally, the birth must be reported to the Philippine Consulate General within twelve (12) months after its
                                    occurrence. When the parents neglect to report the birth within twelve (12) months, the birth may, nevertheless, be
                                    recorded upon the determination of the consular officer of satisfactory evidence on the authenticity of the report.
                                    In these cases, the person submitting the report shall be required to execute an Affidavit explaining the delay in
                                    reporting the birth.</p>
                                <h5 style="font-weight: 600;">Why should I report the birth of my child to the Philippine Consulate General?</h5 style="font-weight: 600;">
                                <p>The Report of Birth is a declaration of the person furnishing information on the birth abroad of a Filipino child. It
                                    is important for Filipinos permanently residing abroad to promptly register with the Philippine Consulate General
                                    the birth of a child in order for such a birth to be registered with the Philippine Statistical Authority (PSA).</p>
                                <h5 style="font-weight: 600;">How do I get a Report of Birth issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (formerly the National Statistics
                                    Office)?</h5 style="font-weight: 600;">
                                <p>Please note that a PSA-authenticated copy of the Report of Birth/Marriage/Death may be requested from the Philippine
                                    Statistics Authority only after six months from the date of filing of said report at the Philippine Consulate
