my nephew and niece are as filipino as they can be. They were born in texas, came to live in the Philippines and went back to the US using a US passport. Filipino blood in their veins; but they do not see it convenient to be filipino. I know they can apply a philippine passport.
they speak fluent english (with a heavy cebuano accent), cebuano, and french. they studied philippine culture and history here. 
so why was 1 player interviewed speaking in spanish? did his roots came from zamboanga? porque he doesnt speak any dialect and he is just starting to learn pilipino.
Here's 1 reason I can think of where being of 2 citizenship can be an advantage. If you have a US and Philippine passport, In countries that are anti US, you are filipino. In countries that are anti Philippines (if any), you are US.
Get Real! If you consider them filipinos, I dare you to remove government support for football. Let's see if these players are truly filipino and stay with the team. if the dragon boat team can get the gold without government support, why not football.
