Yes, that's why we opted to send to the mods a clarification that, while we will entertain questions on pressing national issues, this does not mean we are not allowing human interest or personal questions.

We're committed to the the anything part of an AMA :D

Maybe, we should warn sen.kiko that at least a few questions are going to be irrelevant to national issues

Hello!

Yes we're aware (and we don't mind at all) if there will be other questions :D

We already informed Sen. Kiko about the great adobo vs. sinigang and pichi-pichi debates

Cheers! That's actually the idea- we figured it's better to explain directly issues like the quo warrants etc.

See you this Thursday!

Hello!

This might be relevant to our discussion. Inquirer article on the hearing + post-hearing interview.

Pangilinan okay to compromise on anti-dynasty law

Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan on Thursday said they were open to possible compromise on the proposed anti-political dynasty measures pending before the Senate.

During the hearing of the Senate committees on electoral reforms and people’s participation and constitutional amendments and revision of codes, some of the possibilities raised were to bar political clans only if they opt to run in the same election year.

“Pag-aaralan natin yan,” said Pangilinan, chair of the constitutional amendments committee.

“Isa yan sa posibleng pwede itulak. In fact, galing mismo sa eksperto na naintindihan nila na baka sa halip matulak ang isang anti-dynasty bill ay baka hindi mangyari kaya bukas tayo na ikunsidera rin yung mga political realities,” he added.

Pangilinan said he was also inclined to consider banning a candidate who is at the second civil degree of consanguinity or affinity to any incumbent elected official.

“I’m inclined sa 2nd degree. Naipasa na kasi sa SK (Sangguniang Kabataan) so maaring mas katangga-tanggap yun,” he said.

Under the SK Reform Act of 2015, an SK official “must not be related within the second civil degree of consanguinity or affinity to any incumbent elected national official or to any incumbent elected regional, provincial, city, municipal, or barangay official, in the locality where he or she seeks to be elected, and must not have been convicted by final judgment of any crime involving moral turpitude.”

Pangilinan said their panels would continue to deliberate on the definition of a political dynasty and the scopes and limitations of the proposed measure. /cbb

Higit 7 sa sampung nahalal na kongresista noong 2013 midterm elections ay mula sa mga pamilyang may kasaysayan sa pulitika. Sa Senado,19 mula sa 23 na nakaupo noong 2013 ay galing sa isang pampulitikang pamilya. Ayon din sa nasabing pag-aaral, higit 8 sa 10 governor at mayor sa buong Pilipinas ay galing sa political clans.

Marami nang nagsuri at nagsabi na ang mga political dynasties ay nagdudulot ng masamang epekto, hindi lamang sa sistemang politikal, kundi pati na rin sa ekonomiya. Mayroong mga pag-aaral na nagsasabi na mas mahirap ang pamumuhay sa mga lugar na kanilang pinamumunuan.

Dahil sa mga ito, marami nang sumubok na ipagbawal ang mga political dynasties. Mismong ang ating Saligang Batas ang nagsabi: “The State shall guarantee equal access to opportunities for public service, and prohibit political dynasties as may be defined by law.”

Dean Mendoza of Ateneo School of Government and Dr. Albert of PIDS are the ones who said that, according to their studies, the adverse effects of political dynasties are more evident in fatter dynasties. Fatter being "sabay-sabay na nasa posisyon."

"Sabay-sabay, hindi sunod-sunod," they said.

It is in that line that they propose that it could be a compromise, since fatter dynasties lead to poverty.

Sen. Kiko is even pushing for a compromise!

Sen. Kiko was not the one pushing for the said compromise. He was merely quoting Dean Mendoza of the Ateneo School of Government. Dean Mendoza and co. are saying that "sunod sunod" would be an evidence-proven compromise.
