Defining the News
“The next time you’re feeling down about the state of politics, remember the Duterte-Duterte tandem”In our column Thursday, we said if there’s one thing Duterte excelled at, it was turning every political issue into a matter of life and death.
The anti-dynasty provision in the Constitution was supposed to prevent exactly this kind of scenario.Ethically, the idea of a Duterte-Duterte tandem is a conflict of interest waiting to happen, a blatant disregard for transparency and accountability. It would certainly make for an interesting fight, though perhaps more suited to a reality show than a democratic election.In a nation where the impossible has been made possible repeatedly, where legal and ethical concerns are mere suggestions, and where dynasties are as entrenched as the very soil of the archipelago, one cannot simply dismiss the idea.
And if that doesn’t work, there’s always the option of renaming the Philippines to Dutertopia—a fitting tribute to the legacy he so passionately defends.
