Having said that, I nonetheless find it reasonable that the Constitution requires more from those aspiring for the highest
offices of the republic. They must be free of the stain of dual allegiance. Grace has to find a convincing way to respond,
for example, to the late Supreme Court Justice Isagani Cruzs contention that Philippine citizenship previously disowned
is not that cheaply recovered.
Justice Cruz was always eloquent when it concerned the obligations of Filipino citizenship: This country of ours, for all its
difficulties and limitations, is like a jealous and possessive mother. Once rejected, it is not quick to welcome back with
eager arms its prodigal if repentant children. The returning renegade must show, by an express and unequivocal act, the
renewal of his loyalty and love.
