Canadian vlogger Kulas” Filipino citizenship endorsed to Senate plenary

The Senate Committee on Justice and Human Rights on Tuesday endorsed the bills granting Canadian vlogger Kyle Douglas Jennerman Filipino citizenship to the plenary for deliberations.

Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri moved to approve the bills on his naturalization which was duly seconded by Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva.

Villanueva, Zubiri, and Senator Sonny Angara have filed bills seeking to grant Jennerman Filipino citizenship.

During the hearing, Jennerman, who has been living in the country for 10 years already, said the country has become part of who he is because it has taught him so much.

Among the qualities of the Filipinos that he admires the most is their resilience.

“Basically, why do I want to become a Filipino? Because I believe that that inspiration is gonna motivate not just me personally but millions of Filipinos around the world, to keep positive things here in the Philippines and around the world, everywhere else,” Jennermen, who is popular for his travel vlog named “BecomingFilipino” on YouTube, told the Senate panel.

If he fails to secure his naturalization, Jennerman said one of his options is to apply for a visa that classifies him as a permanent resident of the Philippines.

In March, the House of Representatives approved on third and final reading the bill granting Jennerman Filipino citizenship. —NB, GMA Integrated News
