Social and political criticisms
PHL | May 17, 2013
The results of the recent elections have been mixed. For example, in the senatorial slate, the Ejercito, Cayetano, Angara, Binay, who are members of elite families who are in politics; however, a scion of a senior senator did not make it to the top 12.
In other areas of the PHL: the Jalosjos lost out to the Uys; in other areas, the Ilgans, the Gacula mayors were not reelected; the Ynares were succesful in retaining their posts.
It was said though, the dynasties are:
l. those who handle all the posts in one area;
2. that there are 3 more members of the family who are into elective position
Maybe the state should have a clear definition on dynasties and come out with an enabling law to enforce the constutional mandate (Do we need a law still to define what is constutional? Why were they able to dismiss Corona by citing mere provision of the constitution? How convenient for our leaders to define/interpret the law according to what is advantageous for them
