Tulfo criticizes Congress for lack of political dynasty law

Senatorial candidate Erwin Tulfo criticized Congress for failing to pass a law banning political dynasties after learning of a disqualification case filed against him and his family members.

Tulfo emphasized that without an enabling law, there is no legal basis to address the petition seeking his disqualification from the elections, stating he would support any such measure if introduced.

Former Senator Ping Lacson echoed Tulfo's sentiments, noting his intention to refile a bill defining political dynasties should he return to the Senate and secure broad legislative backing.

Currently, multiple members of the administration's senatorial slate face scrutiny over their family ties in government, including several Tulfos with representation across both chambers: ACT-CIS Rep. Jocelyn Pue-Tulfo, Quezon City 2nd District Rep. Ralph Tulfo, and sitting Senators Raffy and Erwin Tulfo.

The Marcos administration also has relatives occupying positions within the House of Representatives and local government in Ilocos Norte, with Sen. Imee Marcos having multiple family members in these roles.
