My mom is Chinese, born in the Philippines and wants to apply for a Chinese passport.

According to your statement, it is almost impossible for your mom to get a Chinese passport, besides the ACR/ICR card (native born), she can't provide any other documents to prove that she has the Chinese descent.

Requirements for Chinese Passport First Time Application:

1.) valid ACR I-card (original and photocopy)
2.) NSO birth certificate (original)
3.) Certification of No Philippine Passport (this is issued by the Phil. Department of Foreign Affairs for free)
4.) Certification Request For Travel Records (this is issued by the Philippine Bureau of Immigration for a fee)
5.) ACR I-card and Marriage Contract of both parents (in none, provide Death Certificate of both parents, issued by NSO or by an attending physician)
6.) Applicant's Letter of Intent (indicate reasons for applying passport, your current situation, indicate reasons why you DO NOT have a valid PROC passport)
7.) Certification from your Clan Association (this is a document which provides your personal information, it must be sealed and certified by your association president)
8.) Completely filled out Chinese Passport Application Form
9.) Three (3) photos (passport size, white background, glossy)
