Dear F.O.I. crew, I just noticed that there's no public statistics on "Citizenship Retention and Re-acquisition Act of 2003" (Republic Act 9225). https://elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocs/2/285 Out of curiosity can we discover the numbers & trends on it: Since R.A. 9225's implementation, how many have applied and how many were approved (both per-year & in total as of yet) per jurisdiction and/or region? How many are we, and where are we more/less? Thanks! Best regards, J.T.
