The definition of residence for purposes of election law is more stringent in

that it is equated with the term domicile; When analyzed, the term residence
requires two elements(1) intention to reside in the particular place, and (2) personal
or physical presence in that place, coupled with conduct indicative of such intention.
For purposes of venue, the less technical definition of residence is
adopted; Residence simply requires bodily presence as an inhabitant in a given
place, while domicile requires bodily presence in that place and also an intention
to make it ones domicile; Since a congressman, or the lone representative of a
particular district, has his residence (or domicile) therein as the term is construed
in relation to election laws, necessarily, he is also deemed to have had his
residence therein for purposes of venue for filing personal actions.
Following the definition of the term residence for purposes of election law, a
congressman for a particular locality not only has the intention to reside therein but also
the personal presence therein, coupled with conduct indicative of such intention.
The fact that a partys community tax certificate was issued in a place other
than where he claims to be a resident of is of no moment because the same does not
preclude his having a residence in another locality for purposes of venue.
Courts are allowed to take judicial notice of matters which are of public
knowledge, or are capable of unquestionable demonstration, or ought to be known to
judges because of their judicial functions; The concept of facts of common knowledge
in the context of judicial notice has been explained as those facts that are so commonly
known in the community as to make it unprofitable to require proof, and so certainly
known to as to make it indisputable among reasonable men; The fact of a congressman
being duly elected could be properly taken judicial notice of by a trial court, the same
being a matter of common knowledge in the community where it sits.
A congressmans residence in his province where he was elected could be
properly taken judicial notice of by the trial court.
