IN RE PETITION FOR HABEAS CORPUS OF WILLIE YU v. MIRIAM DEFENSOR-SANTIAGO

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

2004-01-20
TINGA, J,
Finally, petitioner in his Memorandum[25] invokes the case of Yu v. Defensor-Santiago,[26] holding that a naturalized Filipino citizen effectively renounces his Filipino citizenship when he applies for and is issued a Portuguese passport, and declares his nationality as a Portuguese in commercial documents he signed.  That case, however, has no relevance here because the documents submitted in this case, assuming that they constitute substantial evidence that private respondent indeed renounced his Filipino citizenship, are inadmissible.  In other words, there is no evidence in this case of any renunciation.
