Supreme Court affirms solon's US citizenship

The Supreme Court upheld on Tuesday its decision to disqualify Marinduque Rep. Regina Ongsiako-Reyes because of her American citizenship, but the incumbent lawmaker said the high court’s decision was suspect because the matter is already pending before a congressional electoral tribunal.

Voting 5-4 in its entirety, the high court decided to deny Reyes’ appeal and uphold its ruling last June to cancel her certificate of candidacy because she failed to renounce her American citizenship as required of candidates with dual citizenship.

But Reyes, who was declared winner of Marinduque’s congressional seat in the last May 13 election, said the timing of the ruling was suspect.

“It was expected,” Reyes said, adding that the court issued a ruling although she had already withdrawn her motion for reconsideration.

“It is clear by law that (the case) is already in the jurisdiction of the (House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal),” Reyes said. “We will stick to the HRET to defend my case.”

“We are collectively defending this case, I am thankful with the House leadership for their collective stand,” she added.

In its decision, the SC ruled that Reyes failed to present any legal and factual basis to support her argument that while she gained US citizenship after marrying an American citizen, she had not yet undergone naturalization in the US.

Associate Justice Jose Perez wrote the decision with Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno and Associate Justices Teresita Leonardo De Castro, Roberto Abad and Bienvenido Reyes concurring.

Associate Justice Arturo Brion, on the other hand, dissented along with Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio and Associate Justices Martin Villarama and Marvic Leonen.

Copies decision and dissenting opinion were not yet released by the SC as of press time.

Associate Justice Presbitero Velasco Jr. inhibited because his son Lord Allan was the opponent of Reyes in the poll. Associate Justices Diosdado Peralta, Lucas Bersamin, Jose Mendoza and Perlas-Bernabe took no part in the proceedings since they are members of the HRET.

CHIKUNGUNYA  in  Marinduque(?)

Chikungunya (in the Makonde language "that which bends up") virus (CHIKV) is an arthropod-borne virus, of the genus Alphavirus, that is transmitted to humans by virus-carrying Aedes mosquitoes.^[1] There have been recent breakouts of CHIKV associated with severe illness.

CHIKV infection causes an illness with symptoms similar to dengue fever, with an acute febrile phase of the illness lasting only two to five days, followed by a prolonged arthralgic disease that affects the joints of the extremities. The pain associated with CHIKV infection of the joints persists for weeks or months, or in some cases years.

The Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) , made a research to some municipalities in the island and had identified 10 Barangays in the Municipality of Boac that were affected by Chikungunya virus according to reports for the first time in health history of the province.

According to reports  the Chief of Executive of the local government prompted and thru the resolution of the Sangguniang Bayan members it was done and declared the municipality under the ‘State of Calamity’.

However, Chikungunya would not be fatal as notorious as Dengue but these would still requires medical attention, said DOH Sec. Enrique Tayag.

Therefore, individuals whom acquired viral disease encourage not keeping away themselves from medical advice and treatment.
