    Vilar v. Paraiso, 96 Phil 659

    Uploaded by

    RR F
    Vilar v. Paraiso concerned the 1951 mayoral election between Vilar and Paraiso in Rizal, Nueva Ecija. Vilar contested the results, arguing that Paraiso was ineligible to run or hold the office of mayor because at the time of the election Paraiso was a minister in the United Church of Christ in the Philippines, which the Revised Administrative Code disqualified. Though Paraiso claimed to have resigned from his minister position in August 1951, the court found he still held a license granting him power to solemnize marriages through April 1952, so he was still considered a minister and thus disqualified when he ran for mayor.

    Vilarv.

    Paraiso,96Phil659
    FACTS: In the general elections held on November 13, 1951, Vilar and
    Paraiso were candidates for mayor in Rizal, Nueva Ecija. After the
    canvassing, Paraiso was proclaimed mayor. However, 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. Respondent 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 and such resignation was accepted. Vilar
    further contended that on April 7, 1951, respondent applied for and was
    granted a license to solemnize marriages by the Bureau of Public Libraries
    as minister of the new church up to the end of April, 1952. Such license
    has never been cancelled, nor respondent has requested for its
    cancellation.
    ISSUE: W/N Paraiso actually resigned as minister before the date of the
    elections, and his resignation duly accepted, as claimed, thereby removing
    his disability.

    HELD: Paraiso was disqualified when he ran for mayor while he was still
    holding a religious position granting him the power to solemnize marriages
