COURSE: CRUISELINE OPERATION AND HOTEL SERVICES

To oust or not to oust the President?

 NOT TO OUST

Kindly weigh on the possible outcomes, if he would be ousted.

 Impeachment
 Sudden deformation of the nation or might have a civil disorder and/or
war/rebellion
 VP is the next President once, the manning President is ousted

First, how can he be ousted? Kindly check the constitution how a president
should be ousted from power?
 By impeachment as per the 1987 Constitution Article XI Sec 2
 President may be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of,
culpable violation of the Constitution, treason, bribery, graft and corruption, other
high crimes, or betrayal of public trust. All other public officers and employees
may be removed from office as provided by law, but not by impeachment.

Second, what would be the effects if this would happen? Check what happened to
our economy after EDSA People Power 1 and 2 (even 3 if you agree)?
 It may be a call for a war and rebellion, the economy will fall bigtime.
 And as to my One Cent of Thought- Going back to the Year of Edsa People
Power which has been used by the yellow tards to manipulate the thinking of our
fellowmen. The Fall of the Economy was too obvious and have felt by everyone
since the Aquino regime leadership reigned. The Lifting of the Economy in any
way change under the Duterte’s government, and hope that before Duterte ends
his sovereignty, we achieve the better Philippines we once have and now
desired.

This is not the time for us to be MORE POLARIZED; let’s choose to be more
compassionate and analytical to why things are happening without adding stress among
people. Let us spread positive vibes amidst the odds, shall we?

 Yes, of course, though I have just given my two cents

In the meantime, RELAX. Read or watch news but do not accept it 100%. Remember,
interpretations vary. Fabrication is also inevitable.

As always, STAY HOME, SAFE and HEALTHY!

Love you all!

Ex post facto law
(Latin for "from after the action" or "after the facts") is a law that retroactively changes
the legal consequences (or status) of actions that were committed, or relationships that
existed, before the enactment of the law. In criminal law, it may criminalize actions that
were legal when committed; it may aggravate a crime by bringing it into a more severe
category than it was in when it was committed; it may change the punishment
prescribed for a crime, as by adding new penalties or extending sentences; or it may
alter the rules of evidence in order to make conviction for a crime likelier than it would
have been when the deed was committed. Conversely, a form of ex post facto law
commonly called an amnesty law may decriminalize certain acts. A pardon has a similar
effect, in a specific case instead of a class of cases. Other legal changes may alleviate
possible punishments (for example by replacing the death sentence with lifelong
imprisonment) retroactively. Such legal changes are also known by the Latin term in
mitius.
Activity 3
Hello again, mga ‘nak! 😘

Here are the questions needed to be answered:

Kindly submit our activity in my gmail account.

1. Are you a Filipino citizen? When can you say that a person is a Filipino citizen?
-Yes, I am a Filipino citizen.
-A person is considered a Filipino citizen when he/she has the ff:
1. Under the 1987 Philippine Constitution, Article IV, Section 1 states that:
1.a. Those who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of the adoption of this
Constitution;
1.b. Those whose fathers or mothers are citizens of the Philippines;
1.c. Those born before January 17, 1973, of Filipino mothers, who elect Philippine
citizenship upon reaching the age of majority; and
1.d. Those who are naturalized in accordance of law

2. If your mother is a Filipino citizen, your father is an American citizen and you’re
born in US, would you be a Filipino citizen. If yes, justify. If no, why not?
-Yes, acquiring the Dual Citizenship as stated in the Constitution:
So, a person born in the United States is a US citizen by birth. And if at the time of
birth, that person’s father or mother (or both) were citizens of the Philippines, he
or she is also a natural-born Philippine citizen from birth, or by election upon
reaching age of majority, as stated under the 1987 Philippine Constitution.

3. What’s the difference between jus soli/loci and jus sanguinis? Which of these
does the Philippines use?
3.1. Jus soli (right of soil) which is the legal principle that a person’s nationality at birth is
determined by the place of birth (e.g. the territory of a given state)
3.2. Jus sanguinis (right of blood) which is the legal principle that, at birth, an individual
acquires the nationality of his/her natural parent/s. The Philippine adheres to this
principle.

4. What would be the citizenship of the baby born in a Canadian aircraft during a
flight bordering France and Germany with both parents having Filipino
citizenship?
- While the place of birth on the birth certificate for a baby born in flight may be in the air,
the citizenship will depend on where the birth took place, the citizenship status of
the parents and, finally if all else fails, potentially the country where the plane is
registered.
However, being born in a Canadian-registered vehicle would establish a connection with
Canada which would probably be taken into account, if application was made to have
the person declared a Canadian citizen.
5. Are PWDs allowed to vote in the Philippines?
How about those mentally challenged? Justify by citing sections from the 1987
Phil. Constitution.
-PWDs are allowed to vote in the Philippines. As mentally challenged is a part of a
Person with Disability, the Philippine constitution allowed such a person with disability to
vote as to exercise their right to political participation without discrimination or
restrictions. The State shall design systems and procedures that will enable persons
with disabilities to register and vote by themselves.
Republic Act (RA) 10366 or “An Act Authorizing the Commission on Elections to
Establish Precincts Assigned to Accessible Polling Places Exclusively for Persons with
Disabilities and Senior Citizens,” signed into law in 2013, was established precisely for
this purpose, RA 7277 or “Magna Carta for Disabled Persons” and Comelec Resolution
No. 10484.

6. Is a Filipino citizen allowed to register if he/she is still 17 y/o but be turning 18

on the day of the next election? Cite a section from the constitution to validate
your answer.
-Yes, as part of the qualifications for registration, to become a registered voter you must
be 18 years of age ON or BEFORE the election date.

1987 Constitution-Article V-Suffrage;

Section 1. Suffrage may be exercised by all citizens of the Philippines, not otherwise
disqualified by law, who are at least eighteen years of age, and who shall have resided
in the Philippines for at least one year and in the place wherein they propose to vote, for
at least six months immediately preceding the election. No literacy, property, or other
substantive requirement shall be imposed on the exercise of suffrage.

Republic Act No. 8189 or "The Voter's Registration Act of 1996."

A Filipino citizen who’s at least 18 years of age on or before the election date may
register.
