 Meaning of subject and alien
• A citizen is a member of a democratic community
who enjoys full civil and political rights. In a
monarchial state, he is often called subjects.
• An alien is a citizen of a country who is residing in
or passing through another country. He is
popularly called “foreigner.” He is not given the
full rights of citizenship(such as the right to vote
and hold public office) but is entitled to receive
protection as to his person and property.
General Ways of Acquiring Citizenship
• Involuntary method – by birth, because of
blood relationship or place of birth; and
• Voluntary Method – by naturalization.

These two modes of acquiring citizenship

correspond to the two kinds of citizen –
natural-born and naturalized citizens,
 Citizens by Birth
There are two principles or rules that govern citizen by
birth, namely:

Jus Sanguinis – Blood relationship is the basis for the

acquisition of citizenship under this rule. The children
follow the citizenship of the parents or one of them.
This is the predominating principle in the Philippines.
Jus Soli or Jus Loci – Place of birth serves as the basis for
acquiring citizenship under this rule. A person becomes
a citizen of the state where he is born irrespective of
the citizenship of the parents. This principle prevails in
the United States.

 Bengson VS. Hret
• The citizenship of respondent Teodoro C. Cruz is at issue in this
case, in view of the constitutional requirement that "no person shall
be a Member of the House of Representative unless he is a natural-
born citizen."1
• Respondent Cruz was a natural-born citizen of the Philippines. He
was born in San Clemente, Tarlac, on April 27, 1960, of Filipino
parents. The fundamental law then applicable was the 1935
Constitution.2
• On November 5, 1985, however, respondent Cruz enlisted in the
United States Marine Corps and without the consent of the
Republic of the Philippines, took an oath of allegiance to the United
States. As a Consequence, he lost his Filipino citizenship for under
Commonwealth Act No. 63, section 1(4), a Filipino citizen may lose
his citizenship by, among other, "rendering service to or accepting
commission in the armed forces of a foreign country."
• On March 17, 1994, respondent Cruz reacquired his
Philippine citizenship through repatriation under
Republic Act No. 2630.3 He ran for and was elected as
the Representative of the Second District of Pangasinan
in the May 11, 1998 elections. He won by a convincing
margin of 26,671 votes over petitioner Antonio
Bengson III, who was then running for reelection.

• Subsequently, petitioner filed a case for Quo Warranto

Ad Cautelam with respondent House of
Representatives Electoral Tribunal (HRET) claiming that
respondent Cruz was not qualified to become a
member of the House of Representatives since he is
not a natural-born citizen as required under Article VI,
section 6 of the Constitution.4
