    One of the major flaws of Monarchy is that it is very easy to become corrupt in a system of dynasties. This was proven when the dynastic cycle came into play early in Chinese history. Also, when a dynasty falls with the last heir to the family name, power struggles tend to happen among the higher class citizens.…

    So, when the governments were forced to create some rules on their own, presidents chose instead to foster their own personal legitimacy by building patron-client ties with a tribalized peasantry. This legitimacy eventually makes corruption easy to be perpetrated (Szeftel 2000). Although aforementioned studies are all meaningful in terms of describing how presidents become corrupt in specific regions, they provide limited insights on why there exists variation of corruption within the presidency generally. In this paper, I offer a generalized theory in a way that suggest presidential term-limit affects corruption. It is based on the argument that president who’s term is not limited have reelection incentives…

    The rule of hereditary succession, “aristocracy of breeding”, works evil as well as good. When it has prevailed for a long time, a considerable number of hereditary dignities descend to persons quite unfit to exercise power or to make a good use of social influence. Moreover, the division of people into classes provokes envy and opposition.…

    Secondly, there is an Absolute Aristocracy which means that the government is consisted of the people who have the most virtue and are very wealthy. But the problem is that when the property is too high to be achieved from the poor, they cannot take place in the government and they are not able to have a point on every decision which is made because they are not qualified enough, taking into account all the property which the rich can afford to have. That is why Aristocracy turns automatically into Oligarchy. This form of government could transform into a Dynasty because the rich have all the options and chances of becoming the rulers and no one could oppose this fact because no one has more power or money than the ruler of the Dynasty. Thus there again arises the problem of the unachievable common good. Aristocracy is based on the idea of the common good but there are many obstacles which hinder this aim and one of them is the big…

    The political history of the Philippines begins clearly from the formation of various ethno-linguistic groups with distinct territorial imperatives and traditions. The political system revolved around a kinship-based power or influence hierarchy headed by a leader called Mampus or Mapalon among the Ivatan, Mabacnang or "Amaen ti ili" among the Ilocano, Apo among the Igorot, Benganganat among the Ilongot, Mingal among the Gaddang, Gator Lakan among the Tagalog, Rajah among the Bisayan, Timuay among the Subanun, Datu among the Lumad and Muslim of Mindanao, and Nakurah among the Sama.…

    According to Renaldo Mendoza, executive director of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) Policy Center, “political dynasties continue to monopolize political power in many local governments like provinces, municipalities and cities nationwide, and categorized current reigning political clans as “fat” or “thin” dynasties.” Mendoza said “fat” dynasties are political families that have several members holding elective positions in a certain local government for three years. A “thin” dynasty is a political clan that only has two members – like a father and son – swapping certain positions, as when a mayor-father, at the end of his maximum three terms, lets his son, who may also have reached his three-year term either as vice mayor, councilor, provincial governor or vice governor, running for each other’s position, he added. In Maguindanao, the “fat” Ampatuan dynasty held eight out of the 37 mayoralty posts in the province’s 37 municipalities, Mendoza said. Other provinces with a big number of fat dynasties include Apayao province, Dinagat Islands, Siquijor and Sulu.…

    The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines dynasty as a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time. In the Philippines, according to a research by the Center for People Empowerment and Governance, we have about 250 political families who have dominated Philippine politics at the national and local level. This is 0.00001667 % of the country's 15 million families (CENPEG, 2007). They comprise a little, among the represented Filipinos in the country, whom majority are not as elite and as wealthy as they are, and whose interests and needs are not the same as theirs. Roland G. Simbulan, a notable political scientist of the University of the Philippines, says: “Political dynasties distort governance, and make a sham of democratic governance. Through these, public office becomes an exclusive family franchise, and a provider of more benefits to family interests” (20). Political dynasties in the country should be banned for it does not benefit the people and the state; it only benefits those in power. They shut opportunities and hinder true services by the more deserving leaders who are not fortunate to win against these ruling families in the elections. This violates Sec. 26 Art. II of the 1987 Constitution which states: “The State shall guarantee equal access to opportunities for public service, and prohibit political dynasties as may be defined by law.” Unfortunately, no law supports this yet. Since 1987, a lot of legislators have tried to pass a law to abolish political dynasties but have failed. This is mainly because most lawmakers come from political dynasties. Thus Simbulan is right when he said that, “Wealthy and powerful families have dominated politics in the Philippines, concentrating power to the elite families, promoting corruption and abuse of power” (7).…

    1. The Filipino people are considered as one of the most hospitable citizens in the world- polite, friendly and honest character- but it’s mind boggling and intriguing that whenever one is put into power (given high authority or position, for example in the government), that person becomes easily influenced and corrupted by the system transforming such person into a malevolent leader? Reflect on this thought, and explain briefly why this occurs.…

    If there is one instrument in the society that can be described as powerful, influential and dynamic, then it could never be anything less than the media. The mass media is such a powerful institution in the society even for the foremost purpose of transmitting news and information. Its influence centers on how it affects the people’s perception towards important events and personalities. Thus media’s colorful portrayal of a public figure is a prime consideration of how the public responds to that certain public figure’s actions.…
