Practice question
A principal located abroad seeks REN from an ENP under Rule IV, Section 5. She is inside a Philippine consular office, pans the camera to show the location and a designated consular officer confirms her presence. Assume all other requirements are met. Does her being abroad necessarily defeat the act?
- Yes, because the rules contain no extraterritorial provision
- No; the rules provide a limited extraterritorial mechanism with the prescribed Philippine-post location and confirmation safeguards
- No, because every foreign location is automatically permitted
- Yes, unless every witness first becomes a consul
- No, because a foreign address removes the need for identity verification
