Nothing wrong with political dynasties? Look at Art II Sec 26 of 1987 Constitution

Social and political criticisms

From yahoo news

Is nothing wrong with political dysnasties?

I thought it was  the intention of the l987 constitution to end the perpetuation of power in one person or one family.  I could be wrong.   Hence the limited term of office, and only 3 consecutive reelection.

However, political dynasties are the norm rather than the exception.

What do you think?  Is nothing wrong with political dynasties?  Is the PHIL govt a democratic institution or monarchial...

Is it all in the family?

Look at Sec 26, Article II of the Constitution which prohibits political dynasties ???!
(What is the alibi again, no enabling law?  How many years since l987 have passed? No one would be a leader enough to pass an enabling law?  Or is it enough that every one what the Sec says?)

Is Pacquiao building his own political dynasty
