Political dynasties rule

Social and political criticisms

Repost from Al Jazeera by Ted Regencia | May 13, 2013

Political dynasties control 73 of the 80 provinces in the PHL, and 80% of the 220 seats in Congress.

The winners in Senate shows that families control the legislature.  And while this is clearly prohibited in the constitution, this practice continues.   There are comments that the dynasties perpetuate oligarchy and impede progress.

So what does this make out of the PHL?
