Issue of Residence On June 2015, lawyer Raymond Fortun claimed that Poe lacks the 10-year residency requirement for a presidential candidate. Poe had previously been working in the United States after finishing her graduate studies there, and only returned to the Philippines after her father’s death in 2004. She then revoked her US citizenship to be assume the role of chair of the MTRCB in 2010. The controversy arose due to Poe’s certificate of candidacy (COC) for senator in 2012 for the 2013 Philippine Senate Elections, in which she had stated that she had been a resident of the Philippines for six years and six months. It was argued that it might have been a mistake, but Fortun argued that she had to prove it otherwise. As of June 2015, she is six months short of the residency requirement, including the Poe’s the months of her residency until the upcoming May 2016 elections. Poe still has not confirmed her candidacy as either presidential or vice-presidential candidate for the May 2016 elections.
