A Couple of Points
A couple of points. My wife is a Filipino. However, she has a Dutch passport. Needless to say she has a Filipino birth certificate and obviously has many family members in the Philippines. Would the immigration accept she was born in the Philippines even though she has a Dutch passport (previous marriage). I suppose she could apply for dual citizenship if it had any advantages.
You state that if a UK citizen resides outside the country for more then 3 months they would not be permitted to use the NHS facilities. Are you sure? We have a house in the Philippines but would leave a flat we own in the UK, for visits home, banking needs, family and, obviously, NHS facilities. We would, of course, be paying Council Tax and any other utility bills (standing charges) whilst away. We obviously have no set timetable as to what period of time we would stay in the Philippines, before we take a 'holiday' back to the UK. Do will still need to be concerned about NHS restrictions?

Mike, I've moved your post to a new thread of your own.
It keeps topics on track and minimises the risk of getting lost.

Mike, are you saying your wife is no longer a Philippines citizen?
I have no knowledge of Dutch naturalisation laws but I can tell you if a Filipino takes up British Citizenship then their Philippines citizenship is no longer valid and they would need to make application to reacquire at the Philippine Embassy by personal appearance and oath taking.
In UK it has to do with the words of allegiance that must be made under oath.
About the Dutch process, I have no idea.
Yes there are advantages to retain or reacquire Philippine Citizenship.

I`m not sure what your problem is? (what is your question in regards to?)
If she wants to become a dual national, then the only real benefits are Philippine property rights etc.

I didn't say that Mike
Here's what I said
There has been a lot of consultations and changes in recent years.
I think you'd be wise to confirm the position for yourself and your wife.
That's it.
One example, I was unable to secure more than 3 months supply of my medication
