Pahayag ni Regina Reyes at abogado niyang si Larrazabal

"He (Larrazabal) said Reyes was a natural-born Filipino citizen who had never renounced or lost her Filipino citizenship.

Reyes, Larrazabal said, has filed a motion for reconsideration in the Comelec en banc on April 8."

Ano ang totoo: Lahat ng naturalized U.S. citizen ay kailangang i-renounce ang kanilang dating citizenship bago maging Amerikano/Amerikana. Ang sinabi ni Regina Ongsiako Reyes sa Comelec sa nilagdaang salaysay ay hindi daw siya naging naturalized na sinabi rin ni Larrazabal bilang abogado niya. Binaliktad naman ni Reyes ito sa pahayag niya sa media ng mabuko at siya raw ay naturalized sabay wagayway ng isang dokumento na inamin ding hindi sertipikado dahil nawala na raw ang kanyang record sa Bureau of Immigration. Kagaling mandin naman baya.

Mandanas kasal baga ngani? Ano ang sabi ni Regina O. Reyes sa Korte na taliwas sa inasabi nila sa publiko at mga pahayag hanggang ngayon?

Mababasa ang tungkol dito at kabuuhan ng desisyon ng Korte Suprema En Banc sa pagbasura sa petition ni Regina O. Reyes (GR 207264 June 25, 2013), sa Website mismo ng Korte Suprema, i-click. 

Dito rin  mababasa na malayo sa katotohanan ang iba pang mga pahayag. Pangunahing lumagda dito ang Chief Justice Maria Lourdes P.A. Sereno. 

Bahagi: 

"In her Answer, petitioner countered that, while she is publicly known 
to be the wife of Congressman Herminaldo I. Mandanas (Congressman 
Mandanas), there is no valid and binding marriage between them. 
According to petitioner, although her marriage with Congressman Mandanas was solemnized in a religious rite, it did not comply with certain formal requirements prescribed by the Family Code, rendering it void ab initio."

Liberal Party Regina O. Reyes baluktutan blues

2 lawmakers with pending cases assume office

"MANILA, Philippines - Two congresswomen with cases still pending with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) have assumed office and started doing their job as new members of Congress.

The two are Regina Reyes of the lone district of Marinduque and Angelina Tan of Quezon’s fourth district.

Reyes beat then incumbent Rep. Lord Allan Jay Velasco, son of Supreme Court (SC) Justice Presbitero Velasco. The Comelec disqualified her but the decision became final after the provincial board of canvassers proclaimed her as the winning candidate. The SC later upheld the Comelec decision.

Reyes has filed a manifestation with the SC that she has assumed office. She has been validly proclaimed, taken her oath of office, started her term, and will continue doing her job, Reyes’ husband, former Batangas Rep. Hermilando Mandanas, said yesterday."

Nasa itaas ang pahayag ng kampo ni Reyes. Malaki ang kaibahan nito sa binanggit dito na desisyon ng Korte Suprema. Basahin sa Manila Bulletin click. Sinabi na ng Korte Suprema na:

"Mas mahalaga, hindi natin maaaring balewalain ang katotohanan sa kontrobersiyang ito na bago maproklama si Reyes noong Mayo 18, 2013, ang Comelec en banc ay nakapagdesisyon pinal na sa usapin ng kanyang kakulangan ng Filipino citizenship at residency sa pamamagitan ng desisyon na may petsa 14 May 2013. Pagkaraan ng 14 May 2013, ay wala nang nakabimbin na kaso sa Comelec tugkol sa diskwalipikasyon ni Reyes...

"Hindi natin maaring balewalain ang katunayang ito kung tatanggapin natin ang argumento ni Reyes na ang Comelec ay nawalan ng jurisdiction nang siya ay maproklama, na naganap apat na araw matapos ang Comelec en banc decision.

"Ang board of canvassers na nagproklama kay Reyes sa ginawa nito ay hindi maaring magawang walang silbi ang desisyon ng Comelec en banc na kumatig sa desisyon ng Comelec first division", sabi ng SC.  

("More importantly, we cannot disregard a fact basic in this controversy that before the proclamation of Reyes on 18 May 2013, the Comelec en banc had already finally disposed of the issue of her lack of Filipino citizenship and residency via a resolution dated 14 May 2013. After 14 May 2013, there was, before the Comelec, no longer any pending case on Reyes' disqualification to run for the position of member of the House of Representatives. We will inexcusably disregard this fact if we accept the argument of Reyes that the Comelec was ousted of jurisdiction when she was proclaimed, which was four days after the Comelec en banc decision. The board of canvassers which proclaimed Reyes cannot by such act be allowed to render nugatory a decision of the Comelec en banc which affirmed a decision of the Comelec first division,: the SC said.")

Nasa radar na pala ng FBI at US Dept of Homeland Security si Gina O. Reyes ng Marinduque

2 US agencies asked to probe disqualified bet in Marinduque

Manila Bulletin – Sun, May 12, 2013

A congressional candidate in Marinduque earlier disqualified by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) is now in the radar of United States federal authorities over alleged discrepancies in her Philippine and US travel documents.

This came after the United States Department of Homeland Security (USDHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were asked to investigate the issuance of a US passport to Regina Ongsiako Reyes.

In his letters to the two US agencies, Pepito Vergara, of Bagumbayan in Quezon City, said that official Philippine government records showed that "Reyes possesses a US passport with No. 306278853 and that she had been repeatedly using the same to enter and exit the Philippines."
Reyes is the daughter of Marinduque Governor Carmencita Reyes and the sister of former congressman Edmundo Reyes Jr.

"Interestingly, Ms. Reyes' date of birth as stated in her US passport is indicated as 03 July 1959, while her date of birth in her Philippine passport is indicated as 03 July 1964," Vergara said in his letters dated May 3.

He pointed out that records from the civil registry of Manila and from the Philippine National Statistics Office showed that Reyes' full name is Regina Victoria Hyacinth Ongsiako Reyes, born of Filipino parents in the City of Manila on July 3, 1958.

Last March 27, the Comelec's First Division cancelled Reyes' certificate of candidacy (COC) for being an American citizen and for lack of the one-year residency for candidates to an elective office.

The Comelec decision stemmed from the petition filed by Joseph Tan, a resident of Torrijos, Marinduque, to cancel Reyes' certificate of candidacy for making several false representations in her COC.

In its 13-page decision, the Comelec First Division ruled that Reyes is an American citizen based on the certificate issued by the Bureau of Immigration detailing Reyes' use of a U.S passport since 2005.

"Unless and until she can establish that she had availed of the privileges of Republic Act 9225 by becoming a dual Filipino-American citizen, and thereafter, made a valid sworn renunciation of her American citizenship, she remains to be an American citizen and is, therefore, ineligible to run for and hold any elective public office in the Philippines," a Comelec resolution stated.

Regina O. Reyes diniskwalipika na ng Korte Suprema

Nanalong kongresista sa Marinduque, diniskwalipika ng SC

Written by  Leizl GalanPublished in Latest NewsTuesday, 25 June 2013 15:13

• 
  
• Tuluyang diniskwalipika ng Supreme Court (SC) ang nanalong kandidato sa pagka-kongresista sa Marinduque na si Regina Ongsiako Reyes.

 Mula sa bomboradyo.com

Batay sa en banc session ng SC, ibinasura nito ang "petition for certiorari" na inihain ni Reyes kung saan hiniling nito na pigilan ang ginawang pagdiskwalipika sa kaniya ng Comelec sa pagtakbo sa nakalipas na halalan.

Sa botong 7-4-3, mayorya sa mga mahistrado sa pangunguna ni Justice Jose Perez ang nagsabing walang naging pag-abuso sa panig ng Comelec.

Apat sa kanila ang nagsabi na dapat atasan muna ang Comelec na magkomento sa petisyon bago desisyunan ang kaso, habang ang tatlong iba pang mahistrado ay nag-inhibit kabilang na sina Justices Jose Mendoza, Estela Perlas-Bernabe at Presbitero Velasco.

Si Velasco ay tatay ni incumbent Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco na nakalaban naman ni Reyes sa eleksyon.

Noong Mayo, pinal na nagdesisyon ang Comelec na idiskwalipika ang kandidatura ni Reyes dahil siya raw ay American citizen.
