The 2016 presidential campaign of Grace Poe was announced at the Bahay ng Alumni at her alma mater, the University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City on September 16, 2015. Grace Poe is a Senator of the Philippines since June 30, 2013, the former MTRCB Chairperson and adopted daughter of popular Filipino actor and 2004 presidential candidate Fernando Poe, Jr.
On December 23, 2015, the COMELEC en banc formally disqualified Poe from running as president in the 2016 elections for failing to meet the 10-year residency requirement.[3][4]
On December 28, 2015, the Supreme Court issued two temporary restraining orders against the decision of the COMELEC en banc.[5]
On March 8, 2016, voting 9–6, the Supreme Court voted to affirm Poe' natural-born status and 10-year residency.[6][7] On April 9, 2016, the Supreme Court declared their ruling as final and executory.[8]
Background
Poe studied high school at Assumption College, Makati, where she participated in oratorical competitions and was the captain of the Assumption Debating Team in her senior year.[9]
In 1986, she entered the University of the Philippines Manila where she studied Development Studies. On her first year, she became the chairman of the College Freshmen Assembly and then became the sophomore batch representative to the student council on her second year.[10]
But after two years, she decided to study abroad at Boston College, Massachusetts. During her stay, she co-founded the Filipino Cultural Club and later on earned her Bachelor of Arts degree major in political science in 1991.[10]
During Poe’s trip in California with her mother, veteran actress Susan Roces, she was appointed by President Benigno Aquino III to serve at the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) as a chairwoman last October 10, 2010. Later on, due to her excellent work, President Aquino extended her term as a chairwoman of MTRCB, in which she continued serving until October 2, 2012 before she ran as a senator candidate.[11]
At MTRCB, she worked to improve the television and film industries, and recommended the development of a “progressive” agency. During her term, she instituted a new type of rating system for television channels in order for the parents to know and help discipline their children by telling their children the appropriate channels based on the ratings.[12] In addition to this, she also implemented a new type of rating system for movies for the citizens of the country to know which movies are appropriate for them.[13] Moreover, there were new instituted policies in order to promote “intelligent writing” , which included the promoting of the rules and regulations of Children’s Television Act of 1997.
During 2010, there were already rumors of Poe running for an elective position, which was confirmed on October 1, 2012, when it was announced by President Aquino that Poe was chosen to be a member of the Team PNoy administration.[14] Poe gave her official certificate of candidacy the following day, October 2, 2012. Poe was also a guest candidate of the Makabayang Koalisyon ng Mamamayan[15] and, until February 21, 2013, was one of three guest candidates, the other two being Senators Loren Legarda and Francis Escudero, of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA), the group of Vice-President Jejomar Binay.[16] After the elections in 2013, Poe managed to get first place in the 2013 Senate Election.[17]
Campaign
I am Grace Poe. A Filipino. A daughter, wife and mother. And with God’s grace, I offer myself for the country’s highest calling as your President.
— Grace Poe's ending remarks of her speech during her announcement last September 16, 2015.[18]
Grace Poe's surprising first-place finish in the 2013 Senate election made her a likely contender for the presidency but she dismissed any plans of running in April 2014, saying she was not considering "anything higher at this point."[17]
Poe was widely speculated to be a potential presidential or vice presidential candidate in the 2016 general elections.[19][20][21][22][23]
On President Aquino's state visit to Canada in May 2015, the president disclosed that he had met with Poe prior to the trip, although he didn't say on what the meeting was for.[24] A couple of days later, Poe confirmed that she did meet with Aquino. Poe said that "We discussed his intention to choose a candidate who, first and foremost, has the trust of the nation, and, secondly, has the potential to win in the election, in order to sustain the reforms especially against corruption and the pro-poor programs of the government." Poe expects more meetings with Aquino in June.[25]
On June 2, UNA interim president Toby Tiangco, responding to calls for Jejomar Binay to "come clean" on his corruption allegations, said in a press conference that Poe is not qualified to run either for president or vice president after citing her certificate of candidacy in the 2013 Senate election which stated that she is a resident for six years and six months; adding three years for the 2016 election, nine years and six months or six months short mandated by the constitution.[26] Two days later, before a Senate session, Poe said that she wrote "six years and six months" because it was in April 2006 that her home in the United States was sold. Poe, who had been a resident of the United States for 13 years, returned to the Philippines after her father Fernando Poe, Jr. died in December 2004. She said that she has proof that she had been living in the Philippines since February 2005. She said, that despite being a congressman for Navotas, Tiangco lives elsewhere, and that her decision on whether to run in 2016 is "50%" sure. Poe also observed that the attacks from UNA only began after she signed the Senate Blue Ribbon subcommittee report recommending plunder and graft cases against Binay.[27]
By August, Grace Poe had already met with the Nationalist People's Coalition three times, together with Francis Escudero.[28]
With the candidacy of Grace Poe for President, the Liberal Party surrendered on courting the senator to be the running mate of Mar Roxas. It was indicated that she will form a caucus from the member-parties of the administration bloc, namely Nacionalista Party, National Unity Party, Nationalist People's Coalition and Makabayang Koalisyon ng Mamamayan.[29]
On September 16, 2015, Poe declared her presidential bid, in front of hundreds of supporters, family and friends at the Bahay ng Alumni, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City under the newly coalition of Partido Pilipinas, composed of Bagong Alyansang Makabayan and is led by the Nationalist People's Coalition.[30] Former Philippine President and Mayor of Manila Joseph Estrada has given his support to her.[31] On her speech announcing her presidential bid, Grace Poe laid down a 20-point program of government if she would be elected.[32]
Some politicians had questioned Poe's capability if she should run for president, citing her short tenure as Senator. Opposition party United Nationalist Alliance, on the other hand, questioned Poe's citizenship, claiming at the time of the elections, she is still short of the 10-year constitutional residency requirement for the presidential race.[33][34][35]
Sheryl Cruz, actress and adoptive cousin of Poe, withdrawn her support to the Senator's presidential campaign recently. Cruz reiterated that she would be better to run for the presidency in the 2022 national elections and filed more draft bills in her Senate stint.[36]
On December 1, the COMELEC's second division had formally disqualified Poe from running as President in the 2016 elections and cancelled her filed Certificate of Candidacy for not failing to meet with citizenship and residency requirements. The division, was voted 3-0, in favor of the petition filed by Atty. Estrella Elamparo to disqualify Poe. The decision stated that Poe had failed to comply with the 10-year residency requirement, mandatory for a presidential candidate.[37] Poe, in a latter statement said that she was disappointed on the decision and she will appeal the verdict before the Comelec En Banc and the Supreme Court.[38] Under Comelec rules, the party or coalition supporting her may file a substitute before December 10, 2015.[39] On December 11, the commission's first division also disqualified Poe. The first division, voted 2-1 in favor of the petition filed by former Senator Francisco Tatad, DLSU professor Antonio Contreras and UE law dean Amado Valdez to disqualify and cancel the certificate of candidacy of Poe.[40]
Valenzuela City mayor Rexlon "Rex" Gatchalian is the campaign spokesperson,[41] while Cebu representative Ace Durano will be the spokesperson of the Partido ng Galing at Puso coalition.
The campaign of both Poe and Escudero started with a proclamation rally held in the historical Plaza Miranda, Quiapo, Manila on February 9, 2016.[42]
On February 29, 2016, the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) has officially endorsed Poe and Escudero as their pick for President and Vice President, respectively, after a series of consultations with candidates from the party's leaders and members.[2]
On March 8, 2016, the Supreme Court decided to allow Poe to run for president and reverse the decision of the COMELEC to disqualify her in the 2016 presidential elections, voting 9–6.[6]
Former president and current Manila mayor Joseph Estrada has secured his endorsement to Poe as his presidential choice during his proclamation rally at the Liwasang Bonifacio on March 28, 2016.[43]
The Poe's campaign team also officially released a collection of special stickers for Viber messaging app on smartphones. Poe is the first politician in the world to have appeared in a Viber sticker.[44]
Running mate
Grace Poe introduced her running mate, fellow Senator Francis Escudero, in an event that was held at the Kalayaan Hall, Club Filipino, San Juan, weeks after Mar Roxas was endorsed by President Noynoy Aquino at the same place (July 31, 2015). In his speech, Escudero accepted the position of being the running mate of Poe that will lead the "Gobyernong May Puso" or Government with a Heart thru a detailed and up-to-date platform of the government agencies thru budget allocation and ridding off incompetent government officials. Escudero was the campaign spokesperson during the presidential bid campaign of Poe's father Fernando Poe, Jr. during the 2004 national elections.[45] Both Poe and Escudero will run as an independent candidates.[46]
I am Chiz Escudero, a real Filipino, a son, husband, father, and a Bicolano public servant. With the grace of God and the Blessed Mother, I humbly offer myself to the mission of serving as your vice president of our country.
