Should political dynasties be banned?  Should political dynasties be banned? Some Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial candidates on May 3, 2025 airs support for renewed calls to pass a law banning political dynasties in the country.  During a pre-ally press conference in Batangas, former senator Ping Lacson said he planned to re-file a bill that would fulfill the 1987 Constitution's provision against political dynasties if he wins a seat in the Senate.

00:00I'm going to ask you again in the context of

00:02dito sa patagas ko kasi may

00:04political talent na talagang

00:06medyo caring kasi dahil

00:08tumatakbo ng iba-ibang posisyon

00:10ng isang polisya. If your stand on

00:12political dialysis, are you willing

00:14to tackle this once you become part

00:16of the 20th Congress

00:18have a clear definition of this

00:20and whether to prohibit it?

00:24Yes, sir.

00:25Hindi man magbabago yung position ko kasi nakapagwela nga ako

00:28ng at least two bills,

00:30two Congresses para

00:32ma-define kung ano ba yung political

00:34dynasty kasi ang sabi ng konstitusyon

00:36dapat may enabling law

00:38kasi in the absence of any enabling law,

00:40eh hindi pwedeng

00:42maging batas o hindi

00:44may sasapatas yung intent

00:46ng ating salik ang batas

00:48na bawal ang political dynasty.

00:50So hindi

00:52hindi ba yung demand?

00:54Ibig sabihin. So hindi

00:56yung aking definition, second degree

00:58affinity

01:00or consanguinity

01:02tapos legitimate

01:04or illegitimate.

01:06Yan ang aking definition.

01:08So pag sinabi natin, second degree

01:10kaya dyan yung lolo, hindi pwede yung anak

01:12hindi pwede yung pamangkin.

01:14At yun yung tatay, hindi pwede yung anak

01:16hindi pwede yung pamangkin.

01:18So yun ang hangganan.

01:20Hindi ko siyempre

01:22collegial body. Pag-uusapan namin

01:24mabuti, lower house band

01:26o upper house, kung ano yung tamang

01:28definition para masatisfy

01:30yung promisyon sa ating

01:32konstitusyon patungkol sa

01:34political dynasty.

01:36Napakahalaga ng definition.

01:38I agree

01:40na dapat yung definition

01:42ay talagang linawin

01:44kasi

01:46yung mga enabling law

01:48ulang kaya sa konstitusyon

01:50in my experience

01:52may mga enabling law

01:54na misinterpreted.

01:56Okay, kasi nga

01:58isa sa mga

02:00dinibati namin yan, 1993

02:02pag dinibati namin yan.

02:04Hindi matuloy-tuloy

02:06kasi yung definition

02:08hindi maayos eh.

02:10Sabihin mong legal

02:12o illegal na anak, okay lang yun.

02:14Taba, sama sa dentist yan.

02:16Eh yung hindi legal na asama

02:18diba?

02:20So yung

02:22yung

02:24hindi disenfranchise mo yung asawa

02:27pero yung girlfriend

02:28hindi mo

02:29hindi disenfranchise.

02:30So nung sinabi namin mo ako yan

02:32sabi sa akin

02:33ni Sen. Heptali

02:34sabi ni Ori Mercado

02:35hindi, let's putin yung dalaw.

02:37Sabi ni Sen. Toro Gonzales

02:38na siya ni Sen. President namin

02:40hindi kinag-egalize ni Iwilal.

02:42Kasi niya,

02:43huwag nilagay natin sa patas

02:45hindi legalize natin na

02:46pwedeng

02:47ang ibig sabihin

02:48yung mistress pala

02:49in-acknowledge.

02:50So isa yun.

02:51Kailan define

02:53Anong definition

02:55ng political dynasty
