RESIDENCY ISSUE EVEN HELPS GRACE POE-- Election Expert
June 03, 2015 10:10am

Using the same certificate of candidacy (COC) that the opposition claims as basis for Senator Grace Poe being unqualified to run for president in 2016, an election law expert said the document could even boost her qualifications in gunning for the top post.

Election lawyer Romulo Macalintal was reacting to claims made Tuesday by Navotas Representative Toby Tiangco, who said Poe would be six months short of the residency period required by the Constitution if she decided to run for president or vice president in May 2016.

Tiangco is interim president of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA), the coalition of the political opposition which is backing the presidential candidacy of Vice President Jejomar "Jojo" Binay next year.

Article VII, Section 2 of the 1987 Constitution requires at least 10 years of Philippine residency, among others, for a valid candidacy for president. The same requirement is provided for those aspiring to run for vice president under Section 3 of the same article.

Tiangco cited that in Poe's COC for the 2013 elections, she said that she had been a Philippine resident for six years and six months. The COC was filed in October 2012, or seven months before the polls.

"If Poe was a resident of the Philippines for "6 years and 6 months" in October 2012, then the additional period from October 2012 till the May 2016 elections, which is three years and 7 months, will give her a total of 10 years and 1 month residence in the Philippines," Macalintal said.

"The statement she made in her COC for senator in 2013 will even strengthen her claim of 10-year residency in the Philippines as explained above," he added.

Macalintal added that the COC filed by Poe when she ran for Senator in the 2013 elections could not be the basis for disqualifying her from running for president or vice-president next year.

He compared Poe's case to that of Leyte Representative Imelda Marcos when she ran for representative of first district of Leyte in the 1995 elections.

"In answer to the question 'period of residence in the constituency immediately preceding the election,' Marcos wrote 'seven (7) months,'" noted Macalintal.

But when she showed proof that she had been a resident of the first district of Leyte since birth, the Supreme said that "it is the fact of residence and not a statement in the COC which ought to be decisive in determining whether or not an individual has satisfied the constitution's residency qualification," Macalintal noted.

^Tiangco is an ass.
The issue is settled in the case of Imelda Marcos vs. Comelec (G.R. No. 119976, September 18, 1995) decided by Supreme Court. In this case, the residency of Imelda Marcos in Tacloban City where she ran as congresswoman was put in question because she wrote in her certificate of candidacy that she was a resident of said city for 8 months. Under the 1987 Constitution, an aspirant for election to the House of Representatives must be "a registered voter in the district in which he shall be elected, and a resident thereof for a period of not less than one year immediately preceding the election."
The Supreme Court in interpreting this constitutional provision said:
A constitutional provision should be construed as to give it effective operation and suppress the mischief at which it is aimed. The mischief which this provision — reproduced verbatim from the 1973 Constitution — seeks to prevent is the possibility of a "stranger or newcomer unacquainted with the conditions and needs of a community and not identified with the latter, from an elective office to serve that community."
The term "residence" here should not taken in its ordinary signification but must be construed as referring to DOMICILE. Meaning, it is the place where wherever you are and whenever you are absent, you have the intention of returning. In Latin, it is called ANIMUS REVERTENDI. Now, how can GP be
"stranger or newcomer unacquainted with the conditions and needs of a community" when she is even an elected member of congress?

Yup. I don't know how that ass got his JD from Ateneo. Much less graduate from it. His diploma should be revoked for an egregious interpretation of the Constitution. The way he and JV Bautista are conducting themselves, they'll probably sell their own mother to ensure Binay's election to the Presidency.

Are they too scared of GP running for President that they're now throwing all all sorts of disqualification issues at her?

Anyone watching DZMM ? GP currently tearing the Binay camp a new one.

[Monseratto]

Manny is too young to be Nognog's side kick.. President and VP must be at least 40 years old, and Pacyou is only 36 yo...Thank God for that.

Grace is holding a press conference and she sounds very pissed at Nognog's attack dog... "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".

She said if we'll vote people like them (binay) paatras tayo instead na paurong.

And when UNA dropped her as their candidate last election, she was hurt, felt betrayed by UNA.

[Monseratto]

People like a underdog, and Toby Tiangco is doing a great job at that...
