OSG says proclamation valid, legal |

Solicitor General calls Comelec ruling on citizenship
issue as worthless due to lack of jurisdiction
|
|
THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has no jurisdiction to
rule on the validity of Filipino citizenship acquired by one from
his or her parents, according to the Office of the Solicitor General
(OSG).
This cropped-up in a 37-page memorandum
submitted by Solicitor General Agnes Devanadera to the Supreme Court
(SC), stressing that the Comelec’s disqualification of Negros
Oriental Rep. Jocelyn Limkaichong as congressional candidate in the
2007 election did not attain finality because the Comelec has no
jurisdiction to declare that her father did not validly acquire
Filipino citizenship.
