A group of lawyers on Tuesday filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to compel Congress to enact a law prohibiting political dynasties in the country.
This photo shows a picture of the lawyers who filed a petition before the Supreme Court on March 19, asking the high court to compel the Philippine Congress to enact a law prohibiting political dynasties.
“Petitioners submit that the duty is ministerial, it is mandatory for Congress to pass a law defining and prohibiting political dynasties,” the plea read. The lawyers also pointed out that despite some lawmakers introducing bills on the prohibition of political dynasties, many are “lukewarm” about it as they benefit from it.
