PHILIPPINE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

EN BANC

[G.R. No. L-20812. September 22, 1967.]

IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION FOR ADMISSION TO PHILIPPINE CITIZENSHIP, DOMINGO PO CHU SAM, Petitioner-Appellee, v. REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES, Oppositor-Appellant.

V. S. Caamiño for Petitioner-Appellee.

Solicitor General for Oppositor-Appellant.


SYLLABUS


1. NATURALIZATION; BONUS IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED; REQUIREMENT OF LUCRATIVE OCCUPATION. — Bonus is not to be reckoned in determining income of a petitioner in naturalization proceedings; and where petitioner is married, without a child, his annual income of P1,514.74 does not meet the requirement of lucrative occupation.


D E C I S I O N


SANCHEZ, J.:


State’s appeal from a judgment of the Misamis Occidental court admitting Domingo Po Chu Sam to Philippine citizenship. The case must go for the State. The petition avers that petitioner has an annual income of P2,400.00, more or less. His income tax return for 1961, the year he filed his petition, shows that his income was P2,514.74, consisting of P1,514.74 in salary and P1,000.00 in bonus. Contingent and speculative, bonus is not to be reckoned in determining his income. Married, without a child, petitioner’s income of P1,514.74 does not meet the requirement of lucrative occupation (Section 2, Naturalization Law; Yu Kian Chie v. Republic, L-20169, February 26, 1965; Co v. Republic, L-19502, April 9, 1966).

Accordingly, the judgment is reversed, and the petition for naturalization of Domingo Po Chu Sam is denied. Costs against petitioner. So ordered.

Concepcion, C.J., Reyes, J.B.L., Dizon, Makalintal, Zaldivar, Castro, Angeles and Fernando, JJ., concur.

Bengzon, J.P., J., on leave, did not take part.
