  hi buddy people have been doing this all the time and this is from smart traveller:

  Leaving and returning to Australia
  Australians should use their Australian passport when exiting or entering Australia. This includes dual nationals.

  If you're a dual national and have a passport from another country, you may choose to travel on your other passport once outside Australia.

  See the Department of Home Affairs website for more on citizenship and travel.

  AFAIK, its illegal. Once you obtain Australian citizenship, you will lose your Filipino citizenship and the validity of your passport. You have to re-apply for a Filipino citizenship, then passport.

  i agree, @RyanJay never mentioned he's dual citizen. so technically, his ph passport is not valid.
