Hindi 'yan para sa 'yo.
While I agree that a head of state should be able to choose how to deal with internal affairs, no matter my opinion on how heavy handed those dealings become, no head of state has any say in what name I select on the ballot, any more than whichever talking head clown infests the news feed next. They'll choose who they will (which is entirely the point, even for duals), and so will I.
Yeesh, and here I thought the only similarity between talking heads and that particular head of state was a willingness to kowtow to a government who'll gladly throw the lot of you into an ocean.
