DESK REVIEW ON POPULATIONS AT RISK OF STATELESSNESS C.10.d. What do the community members themselves want? The PNLSC staff suggest that most of the population of PJD want to restore their roots and recover the time of their childhood with their father. The PNLSC staff shared that based on a survey of 680 cases, many expressed the desire to visit their relatives or the graves of family members. Yet, since they are elderly, they would mostly prefer to stay in the Philippines near their family. They want to be able to travel and acknowledge their nationality. They also want opportunities for their own descendants. As third generation Japanese descendants, their children could be recognized as a family member of a Japanese national and live, work, and study in Japan. They could also then apply for Japanese nationality after five years. The Nikkei-jin visa provides this privilege for PJD. It has also been suggested that because they are victims of war, it is important for them to be recognized to redress their situation. There are also cases that do not desire Japanese nationality because they are well settled in the Philippines, including working in the military or government. 84 UNHCR / April 2021
