Practice question
Nora was a natural-born Filipino who lost Philippine citizenship through foreign naturalization. She validly takes the prescribed Republic Act No. 9225 oath. She wishes only to resume ordinary private life and does not seek public office. Must she make the separate sworn renunciation required of elective candidates merely to reacquire Philippine citizenship?
- Yes, every applicant must qualify as a candidate
- No, the Section 3 oath and the separate elective-office condition serve different purposes
- Yes, because only elected officials may reacquire citizenship
- No, because no oath is needed for any reacquisition
- Yes, unless a political party endorses her
