Cha-cha ‘nothing’ without law vs dynasties

The Duterte administration should first pass an anti-political dynasty law before tinkering with the 1987 Constitution, Vice President Maria Leonor Robredo said on Friday.

In an interview with CNN Philippines’ The Source, Robredo noted that it is time that the 1987 Constitution’s provision that reads “[t]he State should guarantee equal access to opportunities for public service, and prohibit political dynasties as may be defined by law” should come to fruition first or else political power will remain in the hands of the few even if the country makes a shift to a federal government.
