First wordTHE real and deep-seated problem is that the issue of banning political dynasties in Filipino politics has been half-heartedly discussed and debated the wrong way in the Congress, with little urgency for its approval or regard for the national interest. The agitation of earlier years for an anti-dynasty law has withered away in the face of congressional opposition to the measure because of their personal political interest.
When the 1986 Constitutional Commission wrote into the text of the 1987 Constitution an explicit prohibition of political dynasties, it seemed as though the nation could finally bring the dynasties under control, but Congresses since 1987 have failed to marshal the will to enact an anti-dynasty law.It will stay this way as long as 'we the people' are not outraged to shout 'enough' and proclaim the prohibition of political dynasties.
