Political Dynasties in the Philippines

Some people want to stop this “Political Dynasty” because of the power they gained as politicians.They intended to make it that way and don’t want any other politician to replace them. Power,control and money are everything in this world. A family with a member within the government can influence the other members. That they can also take part of it to gain power over the place to rule. In the Philippines, political dynasty had been seen in the government for many generations. 

Family businesses would like to keep the business within the family circle. They do this because they want to protect the family’s wealth. People learn the method of intimidation,assault and even assassination in order to keep their territories under control for some public servants. A big part of any elected politician’s job is to be “in charge of the money.”

Politics is everywhere and it is a sensitive issue that the average people would like to stay away from. Politics involves power and greed, and may pollute peace and harmony in any way.
