From Invision Free - Political Dynasties breed corruption
From Rappler - Failed Legacy of EDSA - the dismantling of political dynasties. Political dynasties breed corruption - Jose Colayco
Have you noticed those who are being charged with plunder lately?
Estrada - Jinggoy - how many members of the family are in the govt service? Erap, Jayvee E, and before Gov of Laguna ER
Revilla - Rep Lanie, father formerly Senator
JPE- the Enrile clan was in politics in Cagayan.
Even VP Binay and his wife (fmr mayor) son is mayor, Rep daughter, Senator daughter.
The Ampatuans too were members of a political dynasty
How about the Aquino family?
There seems to be a strong correlation between having a political dynasty (members of the family irrespective of number) being in politics and committing graft (because of lack of accountability, and check and balances)
Maybe there should have a Task Force on political dynasty and have COA audit them. And maybe we have the greatest surprise of our life.
It is time the solons pass the anti political dynasty act or they wont (as they wont) declare them in culpable violation of the constitution.
