Poe's Lawyer George Garcia uses word gymnastics to hide poor legal argument

In responding to another disqualification case filed by no less than former Senator Francisco "Kit" Tatad against Senator Grace Poe-Llamanzares, the beleaguered senator's electoral lawyer George Garcia can only mutter these lines (re-quoted from the PDI)

“Every Filipino has the right to avail of the remedies afforded by law. The former senator is entitled to his opinion and we will respect that. In the end, the rule of law prevails and the vibrancy of our democracy is sustained,” Poe’s counsel Atty. George Garcia said in a statement.
“It is, however, our position that all the requirements to seek for higher office have been met by Senator Grace Poe,” he added.(Read more: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/732554/kit-tatad-wants-grace-poe-banned-for-life-from-public-office#ixzz3ozjetpGf Follow us: @inquirerdotnet on Twitter | inquirerdotnet on Facebook)

WHAT? "in the end, the rule of law prevails and the vibrancy of our democracy is sustained" is what Atty. Garcia said as a counter from Tatad's disqualification case.

I think it is precisely the argument of the Rule of Law that Tatad filed his, a week after the last day of filing of the COC. Earlier, Atty. Elamparo, former legal counsel of the GSIS, filed a disqualification case against Poe.

Whatever word gymnastics Garcia does, his will just be thrown to the garbage bag. No amount of fancy tie would hide Garcia's fears and his immaturity in this case. Garcia knowst hat his client will eventually lose this.

Worse, Poe stands to lose not just her post at the Senate---she would be barred perpetually from running for any elected post in the land.

The case is as clear as day---the CONSTITUTION requires a candidate to be "natural-born" and did not do anything to re-acquire any citizenship and did not renounce one's Filipino citizenship. When Poe accomplished her COC, she already violated our laws because even she claims to be a "founding" (anak sa buho)---a status that is not cured by any law.

What the law states that when a child is considered a foundling, the status of citizenship is given, yet it is not enough to consider one natural born because there are just two means on acquiring Filipino citizenship--being born of Filipino parents (jus sanguinis) or doing an act to acquire like when one is adopted by Filipino parents.

Poe-Llamanzares was adopted and therefore, needed to do an act to acquire citizenship.

Her status as a foundling never changed. However, she assumed the status of "Filipino" when she was adopted by FPJ and Susan Roces. So, it is clear. The law is not ambiguous.

And pardon me, there is nothing "sinister" about the acts of David, Tatad and Elamparo. They are just doing what is expected of them---howl when they see injustice.

Poe-Llamanzares is really in deep trouble.

US Backs Senator Grace Poe for president--why?

Highly reliable sources just confirmed what I felt all along--that there is that sinister hand of the State department behind Senator Grace Poe's candidacy for the presidency.

Yes, Kiko, it's confirmed.

Several people whom I will not identify say that the US state department wants nothing more than their own citizen as President of this country. Yes, Philip Ilustre, you heard me right.

Who will be the best to push for Uncle Sam's agenda in the Asia-Pacific? Obviously, someone who knows and feels how it is to be an American.

The US will not support Mar Roxas simply because he has Spanish blood and the Spanish-American war is still a hot subject in the teaching of American history for elementary and high school American students. Who will want a Spaniard to become president of this Republican-loving country?

Who will want Duterte as president? Definitely not Uncle Sam, because Duterte's heart is in the right place and he was born poor and he does not know how it is to be an American (although his daughter looks like one. )

Are you asking me about Miriam? Who in his right mind would vote for someone like her?

How about Ping? Yes, Ping is the ideal president, although we need to ask China and the US about him. I know that in 2008, the State department has already rejected his previous request for support. Wasn't it his subordinates who were caught smuggling intelligence reports out of the FBI several years ago?

Okey, okey, definitely NOT Binay. Binay is not really that close with Uncle Sam despite looking like Obama. IN 2010, handlers of Pnoy likened him to Obama, when really, the only likeness to the US president is their thinning hair and shiny scalp.

And surely, some Americans still harbor imperialist and racist views. How do they view Binay? Those who don white robes with two holes for eyes will tell you. And the irony is that they call themselves KKK?

Anyway, imagine this scenario....

Her Excellency Grace Poe with First Gentleman, American so and so who works for the US navy...and here comes the Presidential daughters, so and so, also American citizens being naturally born in the States. 

With Grace Poe as President, that completes the colonialization of the Philippines. Well, that would be good news for most Filipinos who want nothing more than see the Philippines as the next Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, or Mexico.

Good for some, bad for others.

Imagine, how many Chinoy traders would be left shirtless when the Americanos and the Pensionados assume power.
