CABANATUAN CITY – A petition was
filed before the Commission on Elections Wednesday to disqualify the
32-year-old daughter of Rep. Rodolfo Antonino, who is running for congresswoman
in the fourth district of Nueva Ecija, who is said to be an American citizen.
Magnolia Rosa Antonino-Nadres, a
resident of Barangay Langla in Jaen town, is running under the National Unity
Party founded by her father.
Pedro Fajardo, 51, a resident of
Barangay Mallorca and Desita Garcia, 57, of Barangay Mambangnan, both
government employees, filed the disqualification case against Nadres.
They said Nadres’ certificate of
candidacy states that she was born in San Mateo County in California.
Nadres is also a holder of an
American passport and registered as a voter in Jaen only in 2006, they said.
The petitioners attached a
certification issued by the Bureau of Immigration on Feb. 22 to prove that
Nadres used an American passport in her travels since 1996. -- MG
