Practice question

A refugee recognized by the Philippine Government seeks facilitated naturalization under A.M. No. 21-07-22-SC. She cannot obtain a foreign birth certificate because of the circumstances of flight, but provides proof of recognized status and explains the missing document. May the petition be rejected automatically for that missing certificate, and does facilitated processing mean automatic citizenship?
