Netizens Lambasted Toby Tiangco on honesty issue against Senator Poe

Netizens Lambasted Toby Tiangco after talking about honesty against Senator Poe.

UNA's spokes person Toby Tiangco yesterday announced that Senator Grace Poe is not qualified to run for higher office in 2016 because of residency requirement.

Having failed to convince Sen. Grace Poe to run as Vice President Jejomar Binay’s running mate, the Binay camp has belatedly found that Poe is unqualified to run for Vice President, much less for President.

“Grace is not qualified to run for President or Vice President next year,” said Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco, the interim president of Binay’s United Nationalist Alliance (UNA).
Meanwhile, according to ABS-CBN report:
Senator Grace Poe can fulfill the 10-year requirement to run for President or Vice-President of the Philippines, if one relies on her certificate of candidacy (COC) in the 2013 polls, an election lawyer said Tuesday night.
Atty. Romulo Macalintal, in a press statement, said instead of being used evidence to disqualify her -- as raised by the camp of Vice-President Jejomar Binay -- Poe's COC for senator in 2013 will even strengthen her claim of 10-year residency in the Philippines.
"If Poe was a resident of the Philippines for '6 years and 6 months' in October 2012, then the additional period from October 2012 till the May 2016 elections which is three years and 7 months, will give her a total of 10 years and 1 month residence in the Philippines," Macalintal said.
He added that Poe's COC in the 2013 elections cannot be used as basis to disqualify her for the position of President or Vice-President in next year's elections.
"While the COC shows that she answered '6 years and 6 months' to the question 'Period of Residence in the Philippines before May 13, 2013,' the said answer is not decisive in determining whether or not she could comply with the said residency requirement for President or VP," Macalintal said.
