I know that Guam is in the Pacific and this should be on the Oceania thread, but given the OFWs and Filipino descendants living there, I hope and pray they keep safe and strong there in the midst of Supertyphoon Mawan.

Japanese government is now trying to track down the descendants of Japanese immigrants in the Philippines before/after WWII. Some have made requests to Japanese MOFA to be recognized as Japanese.

Depends on the circumstances. From what I know, it'll have to depend on whether the Japanese father (or his family) will recognize the person.
From the policy side of Japanese nationality law, I don't know if it means giving them a Japanese passport only.

Japan does not allow dual citizenship, ever.

Makes me wonder why didn't they apply for Filipino citizenship, as their mothers are Filipino?

IIRC, almost all surviving Filipino/Japanese persons from after WWII have Filipino citizenship. They just wanted the legal recognition from their Japanese fathers/paternal relatives. If that includes having the ability to get a Japanese passport, so much the better.
While Japanese nationality law doesn't allow it, Ministry of Justice doesn't always check if said person has dual/triple nationality. One way is for said person to make a mistake.
Dusting this thread and crossposting from the Southeast Asia thread
Philippine Senator and Duterte critic Leila de Lima acquitted for one of two drug charges
.
EXCERPTS:
In his 39-page decision, Presiding Judge Abraham Joseph Alcantara said “reasonable doubt” became the basis of the acquittal, after former Bureau of Corrections chief Rafael Ragos recanted in 2021 his earlier testimony that he delivered drug money to de Lima through Dayan.
De Lima had also spent a decade investigating “death squad” killings allegedly orchestrated by Duterte during his time as Davao City mayor.
Her younger brother Vicente, who was among those who had gathered outside, was almost moved to tears as he said “Truth reigned over fake news. Justice reigned over injustice.”
