Practice question
COMELEC gives due course to a substitute COC but has not adjudicated a pending residence dispute. Following Limbona, may the filer treat that act alone as a final determination that residence is satisfied?
- No; giving due course to the substitute COC and adjudicating substantive qualifications are distinct.
- Yes, because every acceptance is a residence judgment.
- Yes, because withdrawal eliminates residence standards.
- Yes, because no substitute needs to qualify.
- Yes, because the opponent must abandon every existing case.
