    Requisites for a Valid Marriage- Formal Requisite

    PEDRO V. VILAR, petitioner-appellant, vs. GAUDENCIO V. PARAISO, respondent-


    appellant.
    G.R. No. L-8014 March 14, 1955
    Registration as a minister with regard to the authority to solemnized marriages is important
    since the registration of which is made by the law mandatory.

    BAUTISTA ANGELO, J.:

    FACTS:
    Pedro V. Vilar and Gaudencio V. Paraiso were among the candidates registered and
    voted for the office of mayor. Paraiso won as mayor. Vilar contended that Paraiso was
    ineligible to hold office as mayor because he was then a minister of the United Church of
    Christ in the Philippines and such was disqualified to be a candidate under section 2175 of
    the Revised Administrative Code, he then instituted the present quo warranto proceedings
    praying that Paraiso be declared ineligible to assume office and that his proclamation as
    mayor-elect be declared null and void. Paraiso, in his answer, denied his ineligibility and
    claimed that he resigned as minister of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines on
    August 21, 1951.

    Vilar showed that Paraiso was ordained as minister of the Evangelical Church of the
    Philippines in 1944 and as such was given license to solemnize marriages by the Bureau of
    Public Libraries; that on April 7, 1951, respondent applied for, and was issued, a license to
    solemnize marriages by the Bureau of Public Libraries as minister of the new church up to
    the end of April, 1952; and that said license has never been cancelled, as neither the head of
    the united church nor respondent has requested for its cancellation.

    The evidence for the respondent, on the other hand, tends to show that while he was
    formerly a minister of the United of Christ in the Philippines, he, however, filed his
    resignation as such minister on August 21, 1951, because of his desire to engage in politics;
    that said resignation was accepted by the cabinet of his church at a special meeting held in
    Polo, Bulacan on August 27, 1951; that respondent turned over his chapel and his office to
    the elder members of his religious order on August 21, 1951, and since then he considered
    himself separated from his order and in fact he has refrained ever since from conducting
    any religious services pertaining to that order.

    ISSUE:
    Being an ecclesiastic, is Paraiso ineligible to hold office under section 2175 of the
    Revised Administrative Code?

    RULING:
    Yes, Paraiso never ceased as minister of the order to which he belonged and that the
    resignation he claims to have filed months before the date of the elections is but a mere
    scheme to circumvent the prohibition of the law regarding ecclesiastics who desire to run
    for a municipal office.
    If Paraiso really and sincerely intended to resign as minister of the religious
    organization to which he belonged for the purpose of launching his candidacy, why did he
    not resign in due form and have the acceptance of his resignation registered with the
    Bureau of Public Libraries.

    The importance of resignation cannot be underestimated. The purpose of


    registration is two-fold: to inform the public not only of the authority of the minister to
    discharge religious functions, but equally to keep it informed of any change in his religious
    status. This information is necessary for the protection of the public. This is specially so with
    regard to the authority to solemnized marriages, the registration of which is made by the
    law mandatory (Articles 92-96, new Civil Code).
