This news had been seconded by her running mate Sen. Chiz Escudero without giving any additional information.

In the petition that Atty. Elamparo passed to the Comelec, it said that Sen.Poe was not able to live here in the Philippines for 10 years requirement as what it has stated in the Constitution. According to Comelec she failed to live here in a total of 10 years because she started to live here last July 2006 and she have atleast two months to complete it that’s why she is not allowed to run as a president in 2016 elections.
