a. Political Dynasty

Political Dynasty is common in the Philippines. Filipinos believe that if the person’s father or
grandfather managed a good political system, then that person could perform as better as what their
ancestors or relatives did. These families also maintain their position to govern the city and to be able to
conserve their power under that place. They get a lot of monetary benefits from these and managed to
keep their business stable due to their power to manipulate the city. This mostly occurs in the province
where people are easy to lure and buy their votes. This is a common scenario in the Philippines that is
not very favorable since it mostly leads to corruption and manipulation towards the city.

b. Patrilocal rule of residence

This pertains to a rule that a married couple should live in the house of the husband’s close
relatives or in the house of the husband’s father. In the Philippines, it is common to live in the house of
their husband’s relative or father since it is believed that men should be the one who is reliable to
acquire and supply the family’s shelter, food and clothes. This is a culture in the Philippines that is still
common up until now. However, as Filipinos accept diversity and became more liberal, the importance
of this culture gradually decrease and Filipinos, especially woman, became more reliable as well and
helps their husband to supply basic needs for their family.

c. Arranged marriages.

Arranged marriage is a type of marriage where the parents are the ones who are ought to
decide to whom their son or daughter is going to marry. In the Philippines, it is known as a common
practice of families who are inclined in business. When the business partners decided to make their
business larger and successful, they make an arranged marriage in order to extend the limitations of
their business and increase their profit. This also helps them to be well-known business tycoons. This
also applies in the political system. In the early years of the Philippines, someone who is running for a
specific position in the government should have a good impression towards the people. Some discerning
politicians would accept any arranged marriage with a commoner to prove that he is close and reliable
with the low-class society.
