Reasons Why PH Can't Abolish Political Dynasty


Reasons Why PH Can't Abolish Political Dynasty

Yesterday I read a news that +PH-Supreme-Court had junked down petitions filed by a senatorial candidate. The petition asked the high court to compel the Senate and the House of Representatives to pass a measure banning+Political-dynasties in the country.

Personally I don't like a country ruled by dynasties. I would like to rephrase it. I don't like our country to be ruled by 70% +Political-families which are ten times higher than US which is only 6%, according to Rappler.Com. Can you believe that?

I noticed a site Change.Org calling all Filipino people to put an end to+Political-dynasty as it is to blame why the citizenry is in +Deep-poverty since immemorial.

Reading articles and listening to commentators I find out several reasons why we can't stop this +Political-programeasily.

Tradition
This becomes our tradition. It's been deep-rooted in our +Political-system and only a new form of government may stop this. Who voted these people? It is us! In short we are intentionally or unintentionally put these +Political-families into office.

Who else can run?
I firmly believe that there are more people out there who are +Competent-to-run for a post. But they are not famous, they don't have the money to fund the campaign, their supporters are only their community.

Power
We can't deny that to have power is something a plus to us. The +Greed-for-power sometimes can lead to corruption is not good for the countrymen. These people might believe that once they are in authority they are already +Above-the-law and no one can stop them.

Follow the footsteps
When the three terms are over, a mayor for example will endorse his councilor-son as +The-next-mayor to follow his footsteps and to +Continue-the-agenda that he started. Is this true? To some it is but others fail.

Hide corruption
When these high officials are faced with +Graft-charges or administrative-charges they then prepare their kin to a post to cover up corruptions made during the term. Even they are in power, still they are afraid.

No concrete law
There is +No-concrete-law about this political dynasty.

I know you have your own reasons. Share it to us here. How can we stop it?
