Is it true that the Philippines has lived for ten years and naturalized? Is it true that everyone can be naturalized in the Philippines?

In the Philippines' naturalization policy, the laws and regulations that nationals and foreigners abide by are different. With regard to naturalization of foreigners, the Naturalization Act requires foreigners to stay in the Philippines for more than 10 years before they can apply for naturalization, and they are not allowed to leave the Philippines during their stay. So does this provision apply to all, or is there any other shortcut to shorten the stay and allow all to naturalize as soon as possible?

Is the 10-year residence period for naturalization in the Philippines for all foreigners? In the process of naturalization in the Philippines, foreigners who want to be naturalized in the Philippines need to have lived in the Philippines for more than 10 years before applying, so most people will choose to apply for the relevant immigration visa first and obtain permanent residence in the Philippines in order to better meet their living needs. For other visas, they need to renew before the visa is valid to meet the residence needs. The 10-year provision is designed to provide basic conditions for all those who want to be naturalized in the Philippines. However, Philippine legal provisions also provide that if they teach in the Philippines or foreigners with special contributions, they can shorten this time to five years.

How to shorten the stay time of naturalization? In addition to the above-mentioned reduction of teaching in the Philippines or working in a special government, if you are married to a Filipino, you can also shorten this part of the time. In addition, after marrying a Filipino, you can directly apply for naturalization after a period of time. In addition, if a woman is married in the Philippines, she can directly apply for naturalization. In this case, the waiting time for naturalization is greatly shortened.

However, in the Philippine marriage regulations, divorce is not allowed, so we cannot choose marriage and naturalization. If we divorced again at that time, it could also affect our naturalization and cause great losses to ourselves.
