"Politicians in the Philippines have been filing their candidacies for next year's elections - and there are some familiar names. Very familiar. In fact, it's hard to avoid the impression that politics here is a form of family business".....

acceptable to the extent nga maau lang pagkadumala ang lungsod/siyudad/probinsya,etc nga ilang gi dumala.

there's always that delimna.. a person/family who has that experience.. or a person who we really don't know about.

Most Large Philippine Cities are controlled by families....

Example: sa ako nahibaw-an

Cebu Ciy - Osmena
Davao - Duterte
Gensan - Antonino
Cagayan - Emano
Danao - Durano
Makati - Binay
Zamboanga - Lubrigat

I think it starts at the fact that everything here is a family affair. For good and bad I guess...

I say, you have to be a eunuch to be elected into office.

There is a degree of political dynasties in every other nation, but what the Philippines has is just ridiculous.

^LOL a eunuch? great idea jud na! once someone gets a taste of that high, from being in power, lisod kaayo para nila buhian. Magpinatyanay pa for the position. Sa among gamay intawon nga lungsod, nagpinusilay pa for a local position. Ing-ana na jud sila ka dedicated to be public servants? LOL
