Ong, if you already take Filipino citizenship, then you can not take Chinese citizenship unless you give up your Filipino citzenship. However, the fact is that it's too difficult to acquire Chinese citizenship even you give up your Filipino citizenship.

Kim, it has nothing to do with your parents. If you hold Filipino passport, you need to apply long-term visas to saty in China for long. Usually, you can stay 1, 2, 3 or 5 years. Then you need to reapply again. Unless you aquire permanent resident permit, then you can stay as long as you can. However, it's difficult to apply for this too.
