Create a people's "initiative" to eradicate corruption in the Philippines

The Issue

Tagalog (summary):

Bilang ordinaryong mamamayan, pwede tayo magpanakula ng batas gamit ang "Initiative" na naayon sa saligang batas.

Ating iminumungkahi na tayo ay gumawa ng batas upang:
1. Ipagbawal ang mga nahalal sa puwesto na mag may ari ng kahit ano mang negosyo
2. Ipagbawal ang tagapagmana ng mga nahalal sa puwesto. Lahat ng pera at ari arian nila ay ibibigay sa gobyerno pag sila ay namatay.
3. Ang mga anak ng mga nahalal sa pwesto ay kelangan umalis sa puder ng kanilang magulang pag sila ay nasa gulang na 25.


English:

As provided for by the 1987 Constitution, Article VI, Section 32 With RA 6735 (Initiative and Referendum Act of 1989) as implementing law,  states that:
"Initiative" is the power of the people to propose amendments to the Constitution or to propose and enact legislations.

And with this initiative, we can propose a legislation that would mandate that:

1. An elected government official and their immediate family cannot own any form of business from the time they have filed their candidacy and up to 3 years after they have stepped down as an elected official

2. An elected government official cannot have inheritors. All assets in form of cash and properties will be procured by the government upon their death.
Beneficiaries such as spouse and children below 18 years old are entitled to recieve their pension, however no inheritance shall be given.

3. Children of an elected government official shall live independently upon reaching 25 years of age and their SALN made available to the public. As they can not own any form of business, they shall live by their own salary as regular employees without any aid from their parents.

This ensures that a government position is a public service and not for amassing wealth nor forging dynasties. Entering public service is akin to priesthood that requires great sacrifice and only the most selfless and patriotic Filipinos are worthy to be elected. This would also level the playing field as wealthy people would be discouraged to run and opening the opportunity to ordinary citizens.

This will create the perfect balance of wealth and power wherein the rich will not seek power and those in power cannot get rich

Please sign this petition and for once use our true "people's power".
