Political Dynasty

How much do we Filipinos loved democracy? Is it much, or way too much that we tend to regret small things that can one day harm the true essence of democracy. Since I was a child, it was a battlecry: Freedom! Democracy! Peace! but I don't think we are going on to something, for one particular thing that bothered me for a long time was somehow related to it. Political will to remove POLITICAL DYNASTY.
I hate to admit this, but we proud Filipinos who managed to turnover the Marcos government that we say tyrant and corrupt are still run by the same people who did that bloodless coup 20 years ago! Do you believe that? It may not be realy Corazon Aquino or the likes but their heirs. Like Noynoy Aquino, who is now to be proclaimed Senator, he was the son of the former president Aquino.
What is my point here? Up to now, beside being overpopulated, leaders in our country still came from the same bloodline. Only a few good blood has the guts to run public office??? Take for example the Mayor of Makati who, upon ending his term as Mayor made his wife run the same office by the virtue of "election". This year, he was incumbent, and guess what, he was once again voted as Makati's mayor together with her daughter as City Councilor and another daughter as Congresswoman of one of Makati's district. Isn't this a POLITICAL DYNASTY ????
Bataan Governor Enrique Garcia was re-elected together with his two sons, one,(Abet) as Congressman for the 2nd District of Bataan and the other (Joet) as Mayor of Balanga City. They are widely known as 3G's. I couldn't imagine how we accept these kinds of governance and politics. With so many families and intellectuals on Bataan, the government leaders come from only one family. How blessed are they? Are they the only sons of God?????
You don't have to go farther more to the locals, Our very own National Admistration, the Arroyo's whose mother (PGMA) is the Country's president, the son is a congressman, another son is also a newly elected congressman, the brother in law is also a congressman. Such a fortunate surname.
In the Philippine constitution of 1987, it is hardly revoked. Political dynasty is unconstitutional and should not be tolerated. It is the primary cause why we revolt against the Marcoses and yet, it is still happening! If these politicians really loved democracy, then, why don't they formulate a Republic Act prohibiting the proliferation of dynasties in the government. Why? When will you put this cruelty and unconstitutional behavior to end? Don't you really care for your pledges of loyalty to your country? What kind of people are you? Alive yet burning in Hell! Whatever,,,wish I could select my country and government so that I won't belong to a corrupted people!
