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 since June 30, 2013, the former MTRCB Chairperson and adopted daughter of popular Filipino actor and 2004 Presidential Candidate Fernando Poe, Jr.. ==Background== (詳細は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." 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. 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. 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. Two days later, before a Senate session, Poe said that she wrote "six years and six months" because it was on 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 on December 2004. She said that she a 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. By August, Grace Poe had already met with the Nationalist People's Coalition three times, together with Francis Escudero. With the candidacy of Grace Poe for President, the Liberal Party gives up on courting the senator to be the running mate of Mar Roxas. Reports also indicate the possible caucus from the member-parties of the administration bloc, namely Nacionalista Party, National Unity Party, Nationalist People's Coalition and Makabayang Koalisyon ng Mamamayan 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. 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. 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 requiremement, mandatory for a presidential candidate. 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. Under Comelec rules, the party or coalition supporting her may file a substitute before December 10, 2015.〔http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/540842/news/nation/substitutes-allowed-until-dec-10-and-other-rules-on-taking-a-candidate-s-place〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grace Poe presidential campaign, 2016」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
