Which provision answers the claim?
- Section 5(3), which requires the Philippine oath before assumption and renunciation of the foreign oath of allegiance described there
- Section 4, which concerns only derivative citizenship of children
- A rule that public appointees never take oaths
- A rule that appointment itself repeals all foreign allegiances without compliance
- A rule that reacquisition exempts every appointee from qualifications
