Voter registration issue
Rommel Apolinario Jalosjos was born on October 26, 1973, in Quezon City, Philippines but migrated to Australia in 1981 when he was eight years old and later acquired Australian citizenship.[1] On November 22, 2008, Jalosjos moved to Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines and lived with his brother Romeo Jr., four days later Jalosjos took an oath of allegiance to the Philippines and renounced his Australian citizenship on September 1, 2009, in compliance with the Republic Act (R.A.) 9225.[2]
Jalosjos applied for voter registration in his municipality but respondent and barangay captain Dan Erasmo opposed the application but the Election Registration Board approved it and included Jalosjos's name in the Commission on Elections's voters list. Erasmo filed a petition for the exclusion of Jalosjos's name from the voters list but it got denied.[3]
