    Michael Pennisi claimed Filipino citizenship after submitting documents to the Bureau of Immigration. However, the Senate found issues with the authenticity of the documents and recommended deporting Pennisi. The Department of Justice later revoked Pennisi's certificate of recognition. Pennisi argued the issue was barred by res judicata as his certificate of recognition had already attained finality. The Supreme Court ruled that res judicata does not apply to citizenship proceedings that can be reexamined. While doubts were raised about the documents, the birth certificate remained valid unless declared otherwise. The Court ultimately affirmed Pennisi's Filipino citizenship.
