    Uploaded by

    JamesHarvey
    Senator Poe was challenged by David in the Senate Electoral Tribunal over her citizenship qualifications. David claimed Poe failed to meet the citizenship and residency requirements under the 1987 Constitution. However, the Tribunal ruled Poe was qualified as a natural-born citizen of the Philippines under both the 1935 and 1987 Constitutions, as she acquired citizenship from birth and renounced her U.S. citizenship in 2010, relying solely on her Philippine citizenship thereafter.

    David vs.

    SET and Grace Poe


    G.R. No. 221538, September 20, 2016
    Name
    FACTS:
    David, a losing candidate in the 2013 Senatorial Elections, filed before the Senate Electoral
    Tribunal a Petition for Quo Warranto on August 6, 2015. He contested the election of Senator
    Poe for failing to "comply with the citizenship and residency requirements mandated by the
    1987 Constitution."

    ISSUE:
    Did Senator Poe fail to comply with the citizenship and residency requirements mandated by the 1987
    Constitution?

    HELD:
    Qualified. Respondent is a natural-born citizen under the 1935 Constitution and continue to be
    a natural-born citizen as defined under the 1987 Constitution, as she is a citizen of the
    Philippines from birth, without having to perform any act to acquire or perfect (her) Philippine
    citizenship.

    To repeat, Respondent never used her USA passport from the moment she renounced her
    American citizenship on 20 October 2010. She remained solely a natural-born Filipino citizen
    from that time on until today.
