Practice question
A candidate retains established permanent-resident status abroad and has made no waiver meeting election-law requirements. The candidate says a vacation return to the Philippines and a campaign promise conclusively remove Section 68’s restriction. No other legally sufficient act of waiver is shown. Which is correct?
- A campaign promise is always a statutory waiver.
- Foreign status is irrelevant to every elective office.
- The specified restriction remains; a promise and holiday do not establish the required waiver.
- A party endorsement automatically waives immigration status.
- A valid passport necessarily ends permanent-resident status abroad.
