Dahil sa pagtataglay ng American citizenship, ipi­nag-utos ng Commission on Elections (Comelec) ang diskwalipikasyon ng isang congressional candidate sa Marinduque.

Hindi lang sa citizenship sinentensyahan Si Regina Ongsiako Reyes, kundi ang kawalan nito ng “one year residency” sa tinatakbuhang distrito.

“Thus, a Filipino citizen who becomes natura­lized elsewhere effectively abandons his domicile of origin,” ayon sa re­solusyon ng Comelec na nilagdaan nina Commissioners Lucenito Tagle at Christian Robert Lim.

“In this case, there is no showing whatsoever that respondent (Reyes) had already re-acquired her Filipino citizenship… so as to conclude that she has regained her domicile in the Philippines. There being no proof that respondent had renounced her American citizenship, it follows that she has not abandoned her domicile of choice in the United States of Ame­rica,” ayon pa sa Comelec.

Si Reyes ay kandidato ng Liberal Party at anak ni Marinduque Gov. Carmencita Reyes.

Kapag tuluyang naisapinal ang desisyon ng Comelec, lahat ng botong makukuha ni Reyes sa Mayo 13 ay ikukunsi­derang stray vote.

Ang desisyon ng Co­melec ay ibinase sa ebidensya laban kay Reyes na nagsasabing American ci­tizen ito, kabilang dito ang United States passport No. 306278853 at mga biyahe nito sa US mula Oktubre 14, 2005 hanggang Hunyo 30, 2012.

Sinabi pa ng Comelec na maaari namang muling makakuha ng Filipino citizenship si Reyes para ma­ging kwalipikado sa public service -- ito ay kung sasailalim sa “oath of allegiance” sa Republic of the Philippines si Reyes sa harap ng consul-gene­ral ng Pilipinas, kasabay ng pagwaksi sa kanyang US citizenship.

“Wherefore, in view of the foregoing, the instant petition is granted. Accordingly, the Certificate of Candidacy of respondent Regina Ongsiako Reyes is hereby cancelled,” ayon sa promulgated ruling ng Comelec.

Ayon sa Bibliya: Sinumang maakit niya ay di na makakabalik sa maayos na pamumuhay




Ayon sa Bibliya: Kawikaan 2: 14-19

14
 Mga taong ang hilig ay paggawa ng kasamaan,
ang kanilang kasiyaha'y pawang walang kabuluhan.
15 Sa ugaling taglay nila'y di sila maaasahan,
sila ay hindi tapat, hindi mapagkakatiwalaan.
16 Malalayo ka sa babaing mahalay,
at sa kanyang pang-aakit ay hindi ka maaakay.
17 Siya ay babaing hindi tapat sa asawa;
ang sumpaan sa altar ay binale-wala niya.
18 Kaya naman ang landas niya'y patungo sa kamatayan,
at ang kanyang buhay ay tungo sa kawakasan.
19 Sinumang maakit niya ay tuluyang natatangay,
at hindi na makakabalik sa maayos na pamumuhay.

disqualified na pala


Reyes DQ’d

Manila, Philippines – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has disqualified Regina Reyes, daughter of Marinduque Governor Carmencita Reyes, from running as congresswoman in next month’s midterm elections.
Reyes is running as representative of the lone congressional district in Marinduque. In its 13-page decision, the Comelec First Division ruled that Reyes is not eligible to run for public office in the province for being an American citizen.

The ineligible candidate was declared as such also for her failure to meet the one-year residency requirement for candidates.
“Thus, a Filipino citizen who becomes naturalized elsewhere effectively abandons his domicile of origin,“ the Comelec said in a resolution signed by Commissioners Lucenito Tagle and Christian Robert Lim of the First Division. (Raymund F. Antonio)
