Apolinario Mabini vs Srettha Thavisin

Mabini wrote the 'Constitutional Program of the Philippine Republic' in 1898, outlining the principles of the revolutionary government. His writings influenced the Malolos Constitution and the establishment of the First Philippine Republic.

Apolinario Mabini was appointed as the first Prime Minister of the First Philippine Republic on January 2, 1899, by President Emilio Aguinaldo. He served as the de facto head of government during the Philippine-American War.

Mabini was captured by American forces on December 10, 1901, and exiled to Guam. He refused to swear allegiance to the United States, remaining a symbol of resistance. He was allowed to return to the Philippines in 1903.

Apolinario Mabini died of cholera on May 13, 1903, shortly after returning from exile in Guam. His death at age 38 cut short his political career, but he is remembered as the 'Sublime Paralytic' and a key intellectual of the Philippine Revolution.

Srettha Thavisin proposed a 10,000 baht digital wallet program to stimulate the economy. The initiative aimed to distribute funds to citizens for local spending, but faced criticism over fiscal sustainability and implementation delays.

Srettha Thavisin was appointed Prime Minister in August 2023 after leading the Pheu Thai Party to form a coalition government. His election ended months of political deadlock following the 2023 general election.

Srettha Thavisin was removed from office by the Constitutional Court of Thailand for violating ethical standards by appointing a convicted minister. His dismissal after less than a year marked one of the shortest tenures in Thai history.
