ONE BLOODED RULERS
Political Dynasties are still dominating the Philippine Political Landscape. It
is like a chronic disease that started emerging the Philippines since the First
Republic of the Philippines was established. This has been part of the Filipino
culture despite the rules that are almost been implemented. I am not willing to
have this kind of Dynasty in our country, simply because I don’t want to see
selfishness reigning.
Lots of Provinces have Political Dynasties, people are aware but some do
not have concern about it. This work has been part of the so called family rituals
of some Filipinos. This is done to continuously pass the power and let their names
to live long. Some are against this process because others will no longer have the
chance to lead also. It is living proof that lots of Politicians are greedy for power.
The Constitution of the Philippines states in Article II Section 26 the
prohibiting of Political Dynasties but sadly it is not implemented. This usually
leads to quarrelling families and worst, broken families. In this state, it is common
that siblings are also the rivals on the same political seat, so whoever wins their
dynasty will still continue. There is limitation for the number of terms of local
government officials but no limitations for the incumbent’s family relations.
An example of Political Dynasty is the Family Binay that ruled Makati for
years until now. A quarrel has been built between Maria Lourdes Binay and
Jejomar Erwin Binay Jr. because of the struggle for the possession of being the
Mayor. Their father said that they should not hurt each other’s feelings because
they are still siblings until the end and nothing can change that.
There should be something that we could do stop this nonsensical things It
will only make our country’s image worst, this is a Democratic country not
Monarchy. We are the most affected with this act so we should be the one to
start the change in our country. The Government must implement a law that
prohibit the Political Dynasties so this wrong perception will stop.
FOCUSING ON HEALTH
The Senate have come to the idea of creating a law that will seek for
upgrading the quality of health services for the Filipinos. This includes the equal
