5. Omar, an Iranian national, was admitted in the Philippines as a refugee. After more than 10 years in the Philippines, Omar filed a petition for naturalization as a Filipino citizen.

However, the Office of the Solicitor General opposed the petition because the laws of Iran do not grant reciprocal rights to Filipinos to become naturalized citizens. Will the lack of the reciprocity requirement bar Omar’s application for naturalization? Explain.
