QuestionsQuestions (Republic Act No. 1095)
The law is Republic Act No. 1095 (approved June 15, 1954). It amends Section 2071 of the Revised Administrative Code to revise/clarify the qualifications of provincial officers.
RA 1095 amended Section 2071 of the Revised Administrative Code, as further amended by Section 1 of Commonwealth Act No. 233.
At the time of the election, the person must be a qualified voter of the province.
The person must have been a bona fide resident of the province for at least one year prior to the election.
The person must be not less than twenty-five (25) years of age.
They are cumulative. The provision states that no person shall be eligible unless all conditions are met: (1) qualified voter, (2) bona fide resident for at least one year, and (3) at least 25 years old.
At the time of the election.
Yes. It requires bona fide residence for at least one year prior to the election.
It states that the Act shall take effect upon its approval.
It indicates that Section 2071 had already been previously modified by Commonwealth Act No. 233, and RA 1095 further amends the same section.
It implies mandatory eligibility criteria: failure to meet any one of the listed qualifications would bar eligibility for the provincial office in question.
No. All qualifications must be satisfied. Being not a qualified voter at the time of election fails one of the mandatory requirements.
No. The candidate must have been a bona fide resident of the province for at least one year prior to the election.
No. The age requirement is not less than 25 years old at the time relevant to eligibility (i.e., at the election under the provision’s structure).
It enumerates three eligibility conditions: qualified voter of the province at election time, bona fide one-year residency prior to election, and minimum age of 25 years.
The Act was approved June 15, 1954. It is relevant because the Act takes effect upon approval.
