Despite not being an economically rich state, Philippines is known for having people who deeply value their family members. Family-oriented Filipinos give importance to even to their most distant relatives as long as they have the same blood running through their veins. In this practice also, Filipinos tend to seek advices from the elders of the family before making a huge decision. Thus, decisions are made not by one for himself but by a group for the entirety of the family.

There is the saying that goes “blood is thicker than water.” This old saying can be implied to anything, moreover when it is already concerning politics and elections.

This statement did not just come from us but from the research and survey we have conducted.

Political dynasty has already been long present in the political structure of the Philippines. It can be manifested when a family member runs, and most often than not, wins the election and his position is soon succeeded by one of his family members as well. This cycle goes on and on and the scope of the family’s territory becomes wider and wider every election for the members can run on different places. This is often practiced by rich and influential families; families who have been political since their forefathers and have followed the tradition as well.

Political dynasties started to emerge just after the Philippine Revolution happened. It was also when the First Republic of the Philippines was established. The Philippine Revolution was the fight between the people of the Philippines and the Spanish colonizers.

• Political dynasty is a well known method of politicians in the Philippines wherein the members of the family is made also a member of the government in order for them to not lose power but to gain more power. This act is an unfair and unjust because the government is not a business that a family can run by themselves, but the government is for all and other people should be given chances wherein they can be the one that leads a community.The other disadvantage of this is once a family starts having political dynasty they will thirst for dominance they would harbor more power in their family they would want to dominate the society and considering of that attitude it will lead to the fall of the society and its people. According to Angela Casauay, The House Bill 3587 or the act prohibiting the Establishment of Political Dynasties seeks to prohibit relatives and according to Jan Danelle A. Patindol, up to the second degree of consanguinity to hold or run for both national and local office in "Successive, simultaneous, or overlapping term." The quote "Successive, simultaneous, or overlapping term" , means that you cannot run as a politician if a member of your family or relative is still in the politics. This bill brings potential about real reform. The families that have been voted repeatedly would abuse the people, because they have their trust and would make use of it to widen their power in their community. People are deprived of their right to vote for who they want because a person sitting in the highest position of the government moreover they will do everything and anything for his family member to become a part of the government or another is if the family member is to end his term and his other family member is to run for the position he or she is in the result or the winner in the end would.
