Anti-political dynasty bills top House electoral reforms committee agenda — Adiong
The House committee on suffrage and electoral reforms will prioritize legislative discussions on anti-political dynasty bills in January, with an initial meeting set for January 27.
Committee chair Lanao del Sur 1st District Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong noted the significant clamor for such a ban, as evidenced by 17 versions of the bill already filed.
Among the filed bills are versions by House Speaker Faustino "Bojie" Dy III and House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos.
The committee plans to consult with various experts, including law school deans, institutional experts, former Supreme Court justices, and framers of the 1987 Constitution.
A public consultation is also proposed to gather perspectives from all sectors.
Adiong anticipates a lengthy debate and expects that the committee's decision on the proposed measure will not satisfy everyone.
