Journal Article
The 'Poe cases': Preventing statelessness for foundlings in the Philippines
2022
Overview
Philippine Senator, Grace Poe, is a foundling. Due to her status as a foundling, the question of whether Senator Poe was a natural-born citizen was raised in the Supreme Court of the Philippines ('the Supreme Court'), as the Philippine 'Constitution' provides that only natural-born citizens may run for national government offices. Natural-born citizens are those who are citizens of the Republic of the Philippines ('the Philippines') from birth without having to perform any act to acquire or perfect their Philippine citizenship. Hence, the status of Senator Poe's citizenship was crucial in determining whether she could run for national office.
