MARCOLETA ASKS QUESTIONS AS ABS CBN LOPEZ QUIVERS TO ANSWER

LOPEZ HAVE STAYED IN THE PHILIPPINES ALL HIS LIFE BUT AS AN AMERICAN HOLDING JUST A U.S. PASSPORT. MARCOLETA ASKS  " MR. LOPEZ HAVE YOU BEEN CHARGED BY THE PHILIPPINE IMMIGRATION WITH OVERSTAYING ALIEN HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES? LOPEZ'S PARENTS FAILED TO REPORT SON'S BIRTH TO THE PHILIPPINE CONSULATE SHOWING NO INTEREST FOR HIS SON TO BECOME A FILIPINO. MARCOLETA PUSHED LOPEZ TO A POINT WHERE HE HAD TO ADMIT THAT HE IGNORED CHANCES TO BECOME A FILIPINO DURING HIS YOUNGER AGE. HE TRIED TO SEEK REFUGE FROM LAWYER BAUTISTA BUT HE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS ON HIS OWN. ROFUS RODRIGUEZ  WAS IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER WHEN LOPEZ BELATEDLY  CLAIMED  A RECOGNITION FOR FILIPINO CITIZENSHIP WHEN IF  MARCOLETA  WAS HE WOULD NOT GIVE LOPEZ A CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION FOR HAVING NOT PRESENTED AN AUTHENTICATED BIRTH CERTIFICATE ISSUED BY THE PHILIPPINE STATISTICS AUTHORITY. LOPEZ SHOWED RELUCTANCE AS TO THE RENUNCIATION OF HIS AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. LATER, WHEN PUSHED TO ANSWER YES OR NO, HE WAS ASKED AGAIN IF HE WOULD BE WILLING TO RENOUNCE HIS AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. HIS ANSWER IS LIKE "YES" IN A GUNSHOT WEDDING.
