Citizens by Naturalization
Section 1, paragraph 4 which declares as citizens of the Philippines those
who are naturalized in accordance with law possesses great significance.
Certain rights and privileges, duties and obligations limited to Filipino
citizens.
there are certain rights and privileges that could be enjoyed only by
Filipino citizens. Thus, under the constitution, only qualified citizens can
exercise the right of suffrage.
Constitution nationalistic in character
The constitution is nationalistic in character.
Care in granting or denying privilege of naturalization essentials.
If the privilege of naturalization would be granted on easy terms to
foreigners not seriously intent on acquiring Filipino citizenship but only
desirous of improving his economic condition, then it is likely that the
nationalistic provisions of the Constitution would be reduced to a barren
form of words.
