5 Negative Effects of Political Dynasties
From brihtkite - undesirable effects of political dynasties
Last week, I was engaged in a discussion who compared our province with that of Bulacan, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Batangas, Cavite and Laguna. They were definitely way way ahead of what used to the premier province of the Philippines. The reason, it has been under a dynasty of a family for nearly two decades with the mother, son and father team, alternating of running for chief of the province.
Compare that with other provinces and cities, where the candidates, and the elected officials compete to implement the best initiatives and improvements
So no new ideas, no new initiatives are brought forward. Economic development, real job growth is relegated to the back seat (or the trash can) How about attracting investments. All we had are gymn, waiting shed construction, garbage recycling. and nothing more. But other provinces think of new highways, new economic zones, trade and tourism drives, and campaigns. Plan for new cities and relocation of cities and towns.
Naturally, they have same blood at the towns and barangays, what can we expect.
Couple this with allegations that their families are involved in drugs
