| The Local Government Code requires a candidate seeking the position of provincial governor to be a resident of the province for at least one year before the election.[9] For purposes of the election laws, the requirement of residence is synonymous with domicile,[10] meaning that a person must not only intend to reside in a particular place but must also have personal presence in such place coupled with conduct indicative of such intention.[11] | |||||

| We likewise reject the COMELEC and the private respondents' proposition that the Court erred in exercising its limited certiorari jurisdiction. Although the COMELEC is admittedly the final arbiter of all factual issues as the Constitution[11] and the Rules of Court[12] provide, we stress that in the presence of grave abuse of discretion, our constitutional duty is to intervene and not to shy away from intervention simply because a specialized agency has been given the authority to resolve the factual issues. | |||||

| Petitioner's Motion for Reconsideration of the above-quoted Decision was denied with finality on March 3, 2009.[25] Petitioner filed another Motion for Reconsideration,[26] which the Court treated as a Second Motion for Reconsideration and, consequently, denied in a Resolution dated June 2, 2009.[27] Of late, petitioner has filed a "Manifestation" that raises yet again the issues already resolved in the petition and which the Court has, accordingly, merely noted without action.[28] Thus, our ruling therein has now attained finality. | |||||
