Yes by reporting your birth abroad to the consulate. Be aware though that one of your parents should still be a Filipino citizen at the time of your birth. Otherwise you don’t qualify if both your parents have already naturalized at the time of your birth. For those with dual citizen Filipino parents. Re-acquisition should be before your birth to be able to have a claim. For those with parents that still haven’t re-acquired.
Re-acquisition of Filipino citizenship grants the citizenship to the kids if they’re below 18.
Can my children (minor or aged 18 years old or over) also acquire Philippine citizenship under RA 9225?
According to Section 4 of RA 9225 (Derivative Citizenship), the unmarried child, whether legitimate, illegitimate or adopted, below eighten (18) years of age, of those who re-acquire Philippine citizenship under this Act shall be deemed citizens of the Philippines.
A married child, although a minor, cannot therefore be included in the petition of his/her parent.
Children 18 years old and over do not qualify to acquire Philippine citizenship under RA 9225. They have the same options that are open to the foreign spouse.
