Why this petition matters

Philippine politics exposes that family dynasties are stronger than political parties. This is the reason why this country is one of the hardest to govern. Different political clans are using politics to be their family business, pushing to elect the father of the family up to their grandchildren. This thing brings up a loophole for corruption. Putting only one clan and limiting the power only to the family members of the dynasty erases the concept of democracy.

Ordinary people that aim to seat in an elective position and have the potential to lead any constituents should be given the chance to be elected by the power of the electorate. This is a call for all the legislators to pass the Anti-Dynasty Bill to stop clans from making politics a family business and to avoid using this venue for self-interest. The chief executive of the country should sign this bill to make this a law. The people have the power to call on the government for the enactment of this bill.
