Defining the News
“History is replete with examples of dynasties that thrived by keeping governance all in the family”You’d get Salvador Panelo, former presidential legal counsel, the man who could spin a legal web so intricate it’d make even the most seasoned political observer dizzy.
Yes, you read that right—a father-daughter power duo to restore what he apparently sees as the golden age of Philippine governance. Of course, Panelo, ever the political sorcerer, believes by simply pairing Rodrigo with his daughter Sara, the nation’s collective amnesia will be triggered. Remember how he transformed Davao from a city plagued by crime into a place where jaywalking might get you a stern talking-to by no less than the mayor himself?
After all, if he can normalize the idea of a “revolutionary government,” what’s to stop him from believing that another stint in Malacañang is just what the nation ordered?Panelo might argue the Duterte-Duterte duo is just what the Philippines needs to maintain “stability”—a curious euphemism for ensuring that one family’s grip on power remains unchallenged.
