AURELIO REYES v. EUGENIO EVANGELISTA

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

2015-06-22
PERALTA, J.
Similar to Go, Sr., ruling on whether petitioner Go is a Filipino citizen is not what We are called upon to do in this case. The Court does not even have to rule once more on the issue of citizenship to determine whether the BI proceedings may be enjoined to give way to a judicial determination of the same because the matter was already passed upon with finality in Go, Sr. At this moment, petitioner's Philippine citizenship claim cannot be settled before Us. There are factual issues that make his citizenship controversial; hence, must first be resolved before the BI and not before the Supreme Court, which is not a trier of facts.[34]
