DY SUN TIT, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. THE INSULAR COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS, Defendant-Appellee.
Williams, Ferrier & SyCip for Appellant.
Acting Attorney-Governor Paredes for Appellee.
SYLLABUS
1. ALIENS; CHINESE EXCLUSION AND DEPORTATION; MINOR SON OF RESIDENT. — The minor son of a Chinese resident merchant cannot enter the Philippine Islands, after the death of his father, without the section six certificate, in a case where he had not resided in the Philippine Islands during the lifetime of his parents.
D E C I S I O N
JOHNSON, J.:
The only question presented by this appeal is whether or not a minor son, who had never been in the Philippine Islands, may enter, after a death of his father who had been a resident Chinese merchant. That question has been answered in the negative so many times that we deem it unnecessary to discuss the question again except to recite the former decisions. (Lee Jua v. Collector of Customs, 32 Phil. Rep., 24; Tan Lin Jo v. Collector of Customs, 32 Phil. Rep., 78; Cang Kai Guan v. Collector of Customs, 32 Phil. Rep., 102; Yap Tian Un (Sun) v. Collector of Customs, 32 Phil. Rep., 487; Du Eng Hoa v. Collector of Customs, 34 Phil. Rep., 248; Lao Hu Niu v. Collector of Customs, p. 433, ante; Ex parte Chan Fool, 217 Fed. Rep., 308.)
The judgment of the lower court denying the appellant the right to enter the Philippines Islands is, therefore, hereby affirmed, with costs. So ordered.
Arellano, C.J., Carson, Araullo, Street and Malcolm, JJ., concur.
