CITIZENSHIP CASE DOCTRINES

CO vs HRET

It is not required that a person

should have a house in order to
establish his residence and domicile.
It is enough that he should live in the
municipality or in a rented house or
in that of a friend or relative. To
require him to own property in order
to be eligible to run for Congress
would be tantamount to a property
qualification. The Constitution only
requires that the candidate meet the
age, citizenship, voting and
residence requirements

Yu vs Defensor Santiago

Express renunciation was held to

mean a renunciation that is made
known distinctly and explicitly and
not left to inference or implication.

MERCADO VS MANZANO

Dual citizenship arises when a

person whose parents are citizens of
a state that follows jus saguinis and
was born in a state that follows jus
soli, hence, resulting to a concurrent
application of different two laws or
more. On the other hand, dual
allegiance is a situation where a
person simultaneously owes loyalty
to two or more states.
