SENATOR Grace  Poe  disclosed  on  Wednesday that  her DNA samples  did not match with several persons, who submitted their samples for  testing.

But  Poe was  quick  to  say that the  result of the DNA  test was not the only  evidence that they  need to prove  that she is a natural born  Filipino citizen.

“Alam nyo po mahabang proseso  itong sa DNA sapagkat hindi lamang isang tao  ang aming kinunan dito pero aamin  ko sa inyo, yung ang aming mga  nakuha na ay  hindi   po nagtugma ang aming DNA,”  she said in an interview over DZMM.

“Ngayon nakakalungkot din sapagkat matagal ko na rin inaasam na malaman na rin ang katotohanan tungkol sa mga mismong  pagkatao ng aking pamilya na kadugo. Gayunpaman hindi naman ako nawawalan din nag lakas-loob dito sapagkat ang aming tinatayuang  legal na basehan ay hindi lang naman sa DNA  nakasalalay. Nakasalalaly   po ito sa karapatan ng mga bata bilang mga pinanganak dito sa ating bansa,”  she added.

Poe, who is running for president  in 2016,  was referring to a number of disqualification  cases  filed against her over her  citizenship.

“Ako’y Pilipino, ako’y pinanganak dito sa ating bansa, ako po’y lumaki sa ating bansa, pinag-aral  ng aking mga magulang dito…Hindi lamang dito lumaki,   ngayon ako’y naninilbihan dito sa ating bansa. Wala po akong duda sa aking puso, sa  aking isip. Ako ay Pilipino,”  she stressed.
