Setting the standard for Filipino Americans: Grace Poe's Eligibility for Presidency

As I read the decision of the Supreme Court about the case of Grace Poe Llamanzares regarding her qualification to run as the next President of the Philippines, I believe that the decision would have an unfavorable effect in the eligibility and qualifications of future presidential candidates.

Based on the arguments of Justice Perez, Grace Poe is qualified to run for President based on two points: citizenship and residency. For me, the most important issue at hand is her citizenship. Justice Perez has argued that even though the constitution has been silent on the status of foundlings as natural-born citizens then it only rightful to confer them natural born citizenship based on the provisions of international law. 

However, this not about her status as a foundling anymore but the fact that she has renouncement of her Filipino citizenship. All of our previous presidents stayed in the Philippines majority of their lifetime and never did they acquire another citizenship in during this time. The fact that Grace Poe actually renounced her Filipino citizenship in favor of being a US citizen decries the provision in our constitution that our President should be a natural born citizen of the Philippines. The law is clear that the next President should have never have renounced her citizenship considering that a person performs an act to reacquire their natural born Filipino status under RA 9225. The fact that Justice Perez explained that this statute only enables a former citizen to restore their natural born status then Poe is eligible to run as Presidential candidate.  

Grace has reacquired her citizenship thru RA 9225, which is in my opinion is an act on her part which is contrary to Section 2, Article IV of the 1987 Constitution that a natural born Filipino does not perform an act to perfect their Philippine citizenship. In addition, Section 5, Article IV of the 1987 Constitution provides that dual citizenship is inimical to national interest. Hence, when Grace reaquired her citizenship, she was first a dual citizen of the Phiilppines and the United States who in the process had to do several acts to perfect her citizenship such as renouncing allegiance to the United States, establishing her domicile in the Philippines and reacquiring her Filipino citizenship thru law. 
  
With all things considered, the Supreme Court made an unlikely precedent regarding this issue on citizenship which may be a leeway to Filipinos who due to globalization have renounced their Filipino citizenship in favor of greener pastures. The fact that a Filipino citizen renounces his natural born status should have been an immediate ineligibility to run for the highest office of the Philippines. Our country deserves loyalty to the Philippines and given that Grace Poe pledged allegiance to another country prior then she should have not been eligible to be the next President of the Philippines.
