xxxx
SEC. 78. Petition to deny due course to or cancel a
certificate of candidacy. – A verified petition seeking to deny
due course or to cancel a certificate of candidacy may be filed
by any person exclusively on the ground that any material
representation contained therein as required under Section 74
hereof is false. The petition may be filed at any time not later
than twenty-five days from the time of the filing of the
certificate of candidacy and shall be decided, after due notice
and hearing not later than fifteen days before the election.

Ugdoracion urges us, however, that he did not lose his domicile
of origin because his acquisition of a “green card” was brought
about merely by his sister’s petition. He maintains that, except
for this unfortunate detail, all other facts demonstrate his
retention of residence in Albuquerque, Bohol. Believing in the
truth of these circumstances, he simply echoed in his COC a
truthful statement that he is a resident of Albuquerque, Bohol,
and, therefore, eligible and qualified to run for Mayor thereof.
SO ORDERED.
