Ruby Bersamin
The fight for Governorship in Abra just got a twist with an allege filing of disqualification case against Ruby Bersamin’s cadidacy on the basis that she didn’t properly renounced her US Citizenship.
Being a US Citizen or even with dual citizenship for that matter cannot run for an elective position in the Philippines, not even as Barangay Captain. Here’s a sample Supreme Court decision.
If indeed this is true, our assumption earlier that Chari Bersamin may became a substitute candidate will become a reality.
Quoting a post (as is) from one of our users below revealed some discrepancies of Ms. Bersamin’s filing of her COC.

adda naipila nga disqualification case ni ruby bersamin diay comelec manila. they are reaching/talking to the one who file the disqualification case. no madisqualifify the ruby bersamin may be this is the time charie bersamin will substitute ruby bersamin for governor. ta charie can not substitute marco for congressman or land somera for vice governor because they are not in the same party. ruby bersamin only renounce her US CITIZENSHIP oct 14, 2015 when she filed her candidacy subscribed by a notary public atty damasen. saan nga nag oath of allegiance to the republic of the phil. to be a natural born filipino. saan nga napan nagrenounce ti US citizenship na diay american embassy based on what ruby bersamin submitted/ attached documents when she filed her certificate of candidacy.

Nalpas kan if grace poe was dq why not you. Chary b for governor go madam i hate koliglig fir he has done to me but il vote you n il campaign fir u in my bailwick with 600 voters eventhough i am not allowed to directly participate in campaigning .
Posted by eric shawn | December 3, 2015, 6:06 amPalagay ko napag usapan nina justice Lucas at si boss ang pag kandidato ni ma’am Ruby bago nag file ng COC. And DQ ng COMELEC ay wala raw bisa, ang final say ay mula Supreme Court. Kung mangyari man ng Dq, okey lang siguro sa Abra kung si Chary ang substitute kasi ang mangyari si boss Takit din ang adviser. Peace, development, and progress continue to prevail ( English yan ES) . Masaya tayong dalawa Eric dito, parehong na ang ating kandidato.
Posted by Kapitan | December 3, 2015, 7:55 amNOT SO FAST GUYS..RUBY IS A NATURAL BORN FILIPINO CITIZEN …SHE HAS ALL THE ULTIMATE RIGHT BEING A FILIPINO ENJOYED…IT WAS ALL POLITICS..
I will quit my job with a real SG32 SALARY GRADE IF I AM WRONG
Posted by UNKNOWN RELATIVES | December 3, 2015, 9:26 amshe is a natural born awan question na deta. but she lost her filipino citizenship when she took oath as a US citizen. Did she renounce her us citrizenship in a matter as prescribed my the law of America? deta ti question na. of course every filipino has the right ONLY if you are really a pinoy. no haan ket awan karbengam nga ag politiko.
Posted by genuine pinoy | December 3, 2015, 11:26 amRUBY IS A DUAL CITIZEN..IF SHE IS IN THE STATES SHE IS AN AMERICAN…IF SHE IS IN PHILIPPINES SHE IS PINOY ..SHE IS PAYING US AND PHILIPPINE TAXES..WITH THIS KIND OF CITIZENSHIP SHE IS ALLOWED HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES TO BE A CANDIDATE FROM VICE PRESIDENT TO BARANGAY COUNCIL WOMAN..
Posted by UNKNOWN RELATIVES | December 3, 2015, 6:01 pmI agree
Posted by Ringnoster | December 3, 2015, 4:23 pmA dual citizen is not allowed by law to run even a Barangay Counselor.In short, Green Holders are forbidden to run for any Philippine elective post. Basa basa muna pag may time para sa munting kaalaman.
Posted by Boyong Bugayong Mañalac | December 23, 2015, 11:54 amKita naman she is a natursl born filipino height at ilong pinoy na. We are not lawyer here and dnt pretend to be one im commenting on the issue based from the cases that were resolved by the comelec. A mayor from lanao town was disqualified by the comelec bec he used his americsn passport in travelling oversees eventhough he renounce his american citizenship.so with grace poe honest to goodness daw pgfill up nya but the truth is sinungsling sya. So msm chari prepare to substitute ur ambitious tita but iam yurs but i doubt if you can win bec almost brgy captains of abra have been committed to joy due to her generosity.
Posted by eric shawn | December 3, 2015, 8:07 pmI have a dual citizenship and I carried both Philippine and American passports.
Posted by JA | December 9, 2015, 10:58 amIn google ko man how to renounce your amercan citizenship ket daytoy met rimmuar:
Renunciation of U.S. Nationality
A. THE IMMIGRATION & NATIONALITY ACT
Section 349(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1481(a)(5)) is the section of law governing the right of a United States citizen to renounce his or her U.S. citizenship. That section of law provides for the loss of nationality by voluntarily
“(5) making a formal renunciation of nationality before a diplomatic or consular officer of the United States in a foreign state , in such form as may be prescribed by the Secretary of State” (emphasis added).
B. ELEMENTS OF RENUNCIATION
A person wishing to renounce his or her U.S. citizenship must voluntarily and with intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship:
appear in person before a U.S. consular or diplomatic officer,
in a foreign country (normally at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate); and
sign an oath of renunciation
Renunciations that do not meet the conditions described above have no legal effect. Because of the provisions of Section 349(a)(5), U.S. citizens cannot effectively renounce their citizenship by mail, through an agent, or while in the United States. In fact, U.S. courts have held certain attempts to renounce U.S. citizenship to be ineffective on a variety of grounds, as discussed below.
C. REQUIREMENT – RENOUNCE ALL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES
a person seeking to renounce U.S. citizenship must renounce all the rights and privileges associated with such citizenships. In the case of Colon v. U.S. Department of State , 2 F.Supp.2d 43 (1998),the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia rejected Colon’s petition for a writ of mandamus directing the Secretary of State to approve a Certificate of Loss of Nationality in the case because he wanted to retain the right to live in the United States while claiming he was not a U.S. citizen.
D. DUAL NATIONALITY / STATELESSNESS
Persons intending to renounce U.S. citizenship should be aware that, unless they already possess a foreign nationality, they may be rendered stateless and, thus, lack the protection of any government. They may also have difficulty traveling as they may not be entitled to a passport from any country. Even if not stateless, former U.S. citizens would still be required to obtain a visa to travel to the United States, or show that they are eligible for admission pursuant to the terms of the Visa Waiver Pilot Program (VWPP). Renunciation of U.S. citizenship may not prevent a foreign country from deporting that individual to the United States in some non-citizen status.
E. TAX & MILITARY OBLIGATIONS /NO ESCAPE FROM PROSECUTION
Persons who wish to renounce U.S. citizenship should be aware of the fact that renunciation of U.S. citizenship may have no effect whatsoever on his or her U.S. tax or military service obligations (contact the Internal Revenue Service or U.S. Selective Service for more information). In addition, the act of renouncing U.S. citizenship does not allow persons to avoid possible prosecution for crimes which they may have committed in the United States, or escape the repayment of financial obligations previously incurred in the United States or incurred as United States citizens abroad.
F. RENUNCIATION FOR MINOR CHILDREN/INCOMPETENTS
Citizenship is a status that is personal to the U.S. citizen. Therefore parents may not renounce the citizenship of their minor children. Similarly, parents/legal guardians may not renounce the citizenship of individuals who are mentally incompetent. Minors seeking to renounce their U.S. citizenship must demonstrate to a consular officer that they are acting voluntarily and that they fully understand the implications/consequences attendant to the renunciation of U.S. citizenship.
G. IRREVOCABILITY OF RENUNCIATION
Finally, those contemplating a renunciation of U.S. citizenship should understand that the act is irrevocable, except as provided in section 351 of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1483), and cannot be canceled or set aside absent successful administrative or judicial appeal. (Section 351(b) of the INA provides that an applicant who renounced his or her U.S. citizenship before the age of eighteen can have that citizenship reinstated if he or she makes that desire known to the Department of State within six months after attaining the age of eighteen. See also Title 22, Code of Federal Regulations, section 50.20).
Renunciation is the most unequivocal way in which a person can manifest an intention to relinquish U.S. citizenship. Please consider the effects of renouncing U.S. citizenship, described above, before taking this serious and irrevocable action. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact:
