Political Dynasty.

Driving question:

What causes Political Dynasty?

For us, they want that every family members they have will become one of the
politics. They have the power, and they know that people will vote their family
members.
These people want to stay in their position because they want power for personal
gain. This dynasty exists in Philippines because of families that have an intense
desire for power.

Who are the families practicing it?

We have these types of families in our barangay. Like our mayor and etc.
The Aquinos, Arroyos and Marcoses are some families in the national government.
The Violagos of Nueva Ecija, Arroyos of Pampanga and Yaps of Tarlac dominate
their local government.

Reflection:
Were just high school students and we dont know about this kind of Dynasty. We
experienced lack of proper management of our government. Were just students but
were aware of those kind of families. And all we can say that its not good.

Solution:
We cant control every politics in our country. Daniel, Kevin and I Wirrmian, have
solutions for these kind of abusing in politics. We live in free country.We have the
right to choose who we want to lead in our country. All we need to do to stop this
Dynasty is we need to stop voting for these kind of families. And by that Political
Dynasty will be disappeared.
Based in our research, the problem is the people who want to do something about
these dynasties are barking at the wrong tree and raising the wrong issues.

The political dynasties do not equate to a legal problem. In principle, there is

nothing wrong with political dynasties and thats why in the US they celebrate
political dynasties like those of the Kennedys of Massachusetts. For so long as
Filipinos vote freely, nobody can question the emergence of political dynasties.
Thats the reality.
