This bill kills our hope for a government without conflict of interest. It kills our dreams of a balanced society.
The administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has many sins. because he slept on the noodles. It has not kept food shortages and runaway inflation, and as a result, no one expects it to be fixed. Others say, “It doesn’t matter, he is a good man.” Then the war with Iran happened, and it became even more difficult because all the blame was heaped on US President Donald Trump.
Mr. Marcos did not break (or did not try to break) the entrenched corruption that harbors political contractors. “Shame on you” enjoyed good press at the SONA speech, and it was. He created the Independent Infrastructure Commission, which was a big dud, and well, it went away like a bubble. But others still said, “It doesn’t matter, he is a good man.” Others added, “At least he’s not a murderer,” referring to his predecessor in The Hague.
Pero doesn’t make a mistake, when he (and his associates) move – they leave behind a different kind of deviant killer. inheritance. The killer of the hope of a government without conflict of interest; the killer of dreams of an egalitarian society.
It exists. If the basic anti-dynasty bill passes, we will be strengthening, even enabling and legitimizing genealogy for generations to come. It is even worse when there are no enabling laws. Because now, there will be a sorry excuse for the law.
In short, the approved bill prohibits the sitting of relatives up to the second degree of fellowship or fellowship.
But before we continue the discussion, take a look at this note by Rappler reporter Dwight De Leon: How the ‘watered down’ anti-dynasty bill is being sold to the public.
Anti-Dynasty Network Coordinator said Mikee Defensor“In a sense, at all levels of government, you are still allowed to hold a position at the same time. The governor can still be the father, the mayor can be the mother, the councilor can still be the child.”
He added, “We’re just fooling ourselves.”
According to Caloocan Congressman Edgar Erice, it is said to be big “the hill.”
And the best example is the Marcos clan that is not affected by this – they are no longer concentrated in Ilocandia but they have power in many corners of the government: there is Marcos’ brother in the Senate Imee, his son deputy speaker Sandro, nephew of the governor Matthew Manotoc, vice governor of cousin Cecilia Araneta-Marcossin Cocousin Mayor, Michael Angelo. Marcos Barba, and his cousin who was the Speaker of Parliament Martin Romualdez and his wife Yedda party list representative.
The anti-dynasty bill is not universally applicable. And it is not in dispute that they face each other. In the end, it’s still blood.
Let’s give them Marcos 2.0, they learned a lot from Cambridge Analytica and the Martial Law mistakes of Marcos Sr. They know where nudity suppression won’t work, money talks. They know the Pinoy psyche, don’t yell, just cuddle.
It’s so amazing that we are celebrating EDSA @40 this year. This was the same year that Congress members overturned the anti-dynasty clause of the 1987 Constitution.
Can we expect anything from the Senate in this issue? An institution with “four pairs of brothers”? Let’s not hold our breath. – Rappler.com
