let's repeat that. an enabling law for what is enshrined in our constitution against political dynasties had languished since the 1987 constitution was instituted. an attempt to pass a law had been made ages ago, and nothing was heard from it again.
the possible reasons why the anti-dynasty bill may not even be scheduled in the plenary:
Speaker Sonny
Belmonteuncle to QC Rep. Kit Belmonte
daughter, Joy, is Quezon City vice mayor
Deputy Majority Leader Abigail
Binay daughter of Vice President Jejomar Binay
sister to Senator Nancy Binay
(sister to Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay)Rep. Mark
Villar son to Senator Cynthia Villar
Rep. Lino
Cayetanobrother to Senators Pia and Alan Peter Cayetano
(brother-in-law to Taguig City mayor Lani Cayetano, wife of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano)Malabon Rep. Josephine Lacson
Noel sister-in-law to An Waray Rep. Victoria Noel
Rep. Imelda
Marcos mother to Senator Bongbong Marcos
(mother to Ilocos Norte Governor Imee Marcos)Rep. Lani Mercado
Revilla wife to Senator Bong Revilla
Rep. Sherwin
Gatchalian brother to Rep. Wesley Gatchalian
(brother to Valenzuela Mayor Rex Gatchalian)Rep. Gloria
Arroyo mother to Rep. Dato Arroyo
Rep. Sitti
Hataman(wife of ARMM Governor Jim Hataman)Rep. Abdullah
Dimaporo husband of Rep. Imelda Dimaporo
will these people vote for a law that will disallow them from holding elective positions together, all in the family? your guess is as good as mine.
