"Dual citizenship does not give someone the power to pick and choose which laws to follow depending on convenience. This honorable court should therefore be wary of opening a backdoor to absolute divorce between Filipino citizens. We also risk encouraging a trend where Filipino citizens go abroad, obtain a divorce, then switch citizenship to have that divorce recognized at home. That is not what the law provides and it is not what the framers intended."
