help! how to acquire a chinese passport?

[bloodfury7]

my parents are both chinese who only have pilipino passport, my grandfather in my mother's side is a natural born chinese,and my grandparents in my father's side are both natural born chinese who change their citizens when they came to philippines..

we want to regain our chinese passport. what documents do we need and what department or agency who fixes this kind of documents....?

You can't. Only persons born inside China to a Chinese parent are ever Chinese. You will always be a foreigner, neither of your parents were born on the mainland either. Sorry, but you are a Filipino, just as Chinese born abroad to 2nd gen parents in the USA are americans, in NZ are kiwi's etc. I personally know several Chinese people living here that are "foreigners", even living here mostly permanently, but still have passports from other countries. Thats one factor in why I'm staying in China with my wife until we have our baby, otherwise it would only be an american (possibly "overseas-chinese" being first gen), and considered a foreigner here in China.

What do you plan to do if you ever return to the US? As you may know, China does not recognize dual citizenship.

We'll be going to the USA, at least for a while next year. Whether China recognizes dual citizenship or not is somewhat irrelevant as the baby will have both a China and USA passport and birth certificate. In China it will use the Chinese one.
