It is normal for a politician's son, wife, brother, or other kinsman, to run f or the same or other government office. The term coined by Filipinos to describe this practice is "Political dynasty", the equivalent of an oligarchy in politic al science. One can trace its roots from the Spanish colonial times where favored families o f the mestizo stock, or the Illustrados were given responsibilities of Gobernado rcillo, or Alcalde. As such, these men have wielded some influence in their comm unities, and patronage politics was a common undertaking. After the Philippine-American War, the United States colonial authorities took u nder their wings theseIllustrados to join the democratic process. During this pe riod, family names such as Cojuangcos,Lopezes, Marcoses, Osmeas and Aquinos becam e household names. The 1987 Constitution of the Philippines states in Article II Section 26, "The S tate shall guarantee equal access to opportunities for public service, and prohi bit political dynasties as may be defined by law."Though, political dynasties ha ve been a present staple in Philippine political arena. Many have called for the Congress to pass the Anti-Dynasty Law, but this bill ha

s been passed over by each Congress since 1987. Some have pointed that oligarchy is the root problem of all the corruption in the Philippine government.[1][2] Despite the entry of the Party List System in the 11th Congress, the proportion of lawmakers with relatives in elective positions have remained the same in the post-Marcos political scene.[3] The table below illustrates the percentage: House Number Percentage Percent Without Party List 8th Congress (1987-1992) 122 62% 62% 9th Congress (1992-1995) 128 64% 64% 11th Congress (1995-1998) 136 62% 65% 12th Congress (1998-2001) 140 61% 66% Political scientist Dante Simbulan, in a study of the elites of Philippine polit ics from 1946 to 1963 lists 169 prominent families. These families have produced 584 public officials, including seven Presidents, two Vice Presidents, 42 Senat ors, and 147 Representatives. The tables below outlines the demographics of fami lies in politics.[4] In the 9th Congress of the Philippines: Representatives' relatives who are in office No. % of All Reps.

For other uses, s ee Dynasty (disambiguation). Tutankhamun was a member of theEighteenth dynasty of Egypt. A dynasty is a sequence of rulers considered members of the same family. Histori

anstraditionally consider many sovereign states' history within a framework of s uccessive dynasties, e.g., China, Ancient Egypt and the Persian Empire. Much of European political history is dominated by dynasties such as the Carolingians, t he Capetians, the Bourbons, the Habsburgs, the Stuarts, the Hohenzollerns and th e Romanovs. Until the 19th century, it was taken for granted that a legitimate f unction of a monarch was to aggrandize his dynasty; that is, to increase the ter ritory, wealth and power of family members.[1] A dynasty is also often called a house (e.g., House of Saud and House of Windsor ), and may be described as imperial, royal, ducal or comital depending upon the chief title borne by its rulers. Dynasty is also used to refer to the era during which a family reigned, as well as events, trends and artifacts of that period (e.g. "Ming dynasty vase"). In such cases, often "dynasty" is dropped, while the name is used adjectivally; e.g., Tudor style, Ottoman expansion, Romanovdecaden ce, etc. While contemporary English includes references to an array of prominent or influ ential families as dynasties, in much of the world, dynasty has been associated with monarchy and definedpatrilineally. Kinship and inheritance were predominant ly viewed and legally calculated through descent from a common ancestor in the m ale line. However, men descended from a dynasty through females have sometimes a dopted the name of that dynasty while claiming its position or inheritance (e.g. , House of Orange,House of Bagration, House of Habsburg-Lorraine, House of Braga nza).

For example, following his abdication, Edward VIII of the United Ki ngdom ceased to be a dynasticmember of the House of Windsor. A "dynastic marriage" is one that complies with monarchical house law restrictio ns, so that the descendants are eligible to inherit the throne and/or other roya l privileges. For instance, the 2002 marriage of Willem-Alexander, Prince of Ora nge, to Mxima Zorreguieta was dynastic, and their eldest child is expected to eve ntually inherit the Dutch crown. But the marriage of his younger brother Prince Friso toMabel Wisse Smit in 2003 lacked government support and parliamentary app roval. Thus Friso forfeited his place in the order of succession and lost his ti tle as a Prince of the Netherlands, and his children have no dynastic rights. In historical and monarchist references to formerly reigning families, dynastic describes a family member who would have succession rights if the monarchy's rul es were still in force. For example, after the 1914 assassinations of Archduke F ranz Ferdinand of Austria and his morganatic wife Sophie von Hohenberg, their so n Max was bypassed for the Austrian throne because he was not a Habsburgdynast. Even since abolition of the Austrian monarchy, Max and his descendants have not been considered the rightful pretenders by Austrian monarchists, nor have they c laimed that position. The term "dynast" is sometimes used to refer to agnatic descendants of a realm's monarchs, and sometimes to those who hold succession rights through cognatic ro yal descent. The term can therefore describe overlapping but distinct sets of pe ople. For example,David Armstrong-Jones, Viscount Linley, a nephew of Queen Eliz abeth II through her sister, Princess Margaret, is in the line of succession to the British crown: in that sense is a British dynast. Yet he is not a male-line member of the royal family, and is therefore not a dynast of the House of Windso r. On the other hand, the German aristocrat Ernst August, Prince of Hanover (born 1 954), a male-line descendant of George III of the United Kingdom, possesses no l egal British name, titles or styles (although he is entitled to re-claim the onc

e-royal dukedom ofCumberland), was born in the line of succession to the British crown and is bound by Britain's Royal Marriages Act 1772. Thus, in 1999 he requ ested and obtained formal permission from Elizabeth II to marry the Roman Cathol ic Princess Caroline of Monaco. But immediately upon marriage he forfeited his r ight to the British throne because the English Act of Settlement 1701 dictates t hat dynastswho marry Roman Catholics are considered "dead" for the purpose of su ccession.

This system revolves around three separate and sovereign yet interdependent br anches: the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch. E xecutive power is exercised by the government under the leadership of the presid ent. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two-chamber cong ressthe Senate (the upper chamber) and the House of Representatives (the lower ch amber).

During the American occupation, the Nacionalista Party was the dominant party. H owever, during the Japanese occupation in World War II, a new party, the Kapisan an ng Paglilingkod sa Bagong Pilipinas (KALIBAPI), was formed, and was the only

party allowed to operate during the occupation. After the war, KALIBAPI was abolished and the Nacionalistas returned to power. A new party, the Liberal Party, was formed after a Nacionalistas led by Jose P. L aurel and Camilo Osias split from KALIBAPI. This two-party system remained until 1972. However, when Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law, he formed his own party, th e Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL, New Society Movement) composed mainly of his loy al allies from the Nacionalista Party and Liberal Party, as well as some other p arties. Most of Marcos' political opponents were jailed, tortured or killed.[cit ation needed] In 1978, Marcos called an election to the interim Batasang Pambans a. An opposition party was formed known as LABAN. Among the candidates then were Benigno Aquino, Ernesto Maceda andAlex Bongcayao. During that election, no oppo sition candidate was elected. Some groups also sprang up including the National Union for Liberation led by John Osmena and Diosdado Macapagal, the Mindanao All iance, the Muslim Federal Party, the Pusyon Bisaya, and the Young Philippines. In 1984, other opposition parties sprang up. Among them were PDP-LABAN (differen t from the original LABAN party) of Aquilino Pimentel and the UNIDO, or the Unit ed Nationalist Democratic Organization of Salvador Laurel. The UNIDO would later be an umbrella coalition for opposition against Ferdinand Marcos. The Jovito Salonga faction of the Liberal Party, the remaining US-based politica l exiles, and the Left boycotted the elections. When Marcos was overthrown in the People Power Revolution, other parties appeare d, such as Partido Nacionalista ng Pilipinas, Lakas ng Bansa, National Union of Christian Democrats, and Philippine Democratic Socialist Party. In 1987, the opposition parties who wanted to distance both from the Marcos & Aq uino cliques formed the Grand Alliance for Democracy (GAD) headed by former Defe nse Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and Francisco Tatad. The parties taking part in t he opposition coalition were the Jose Roy's allies in the Nacionalista Party hea ded by Renato Cayetano with Enrile as their "commanding leader", a faction of th e legislators from Kilusang Bagong Lipunan that distanced from Marcos headed by Assemblyman Arturo Tolentino, the pre-1986 leaders that defected from the ruling coalition such as Eva Estrada-Kalaw, the Partido Nacionalista ng Pilipinas head ed by Blas Ople, the Mindanao Alliance, the Muslim Federal Party and the Christi an Socialist Democratic Party. Another segment of KBL who are still Marcos loyalists joined forces with the Uni on for Peace & Progress or UPP while other loyalists shifted to the Aquino cliqu e. The Left created the Partido ng Bayan or PnB that led by labor leader Rolando Ol alia, son of Bert Olalia as chairman. They put up 7 senatorial bets in the 1987 elections such as peasant leader Jaime Tadeo, technocrat and communist leader Ho racio Morales, rebel leader Bernabe "Dante" Buscayno, and human rights lawyer At ty. Romeo Capulong. Olalia is included in the senatorial line-up before he was a ssassinated by suspected Rightist military elements In 1988 the Lakas ng Bansa headed by Ramon Mitra and PDP-LABAN (Cojuangco Wing) joined to form the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino or the LDP, causing a split i n the ruling coalition and the unification of the Nacionalista Party. In 1989, anti-Aquino elements reunited at PICC into the Unification of the Nacio nalista Party. Political leaders from the parties critical to the Aquino rule ap pointed Former House Speaker Jose B. Laurel Jr. as Interim President in a Manife sto signed by opposition leaders. A convention was held on May 21, 1989 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC). Opposition leaders agreed to merge under the Nacionalista banner and forgetting their personal differences. This is the result of the unificatio n of the opposition: Vice-President Doy Laurel was elected as the president of t he Nacionalista Party, with former Labor Secretary and Assemblyman Blas Ople eme rged as the Executive Vice-President and former Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enri le as the Secretary-General In 1992 elections, the LDP was split in half. Fidel V. Ramos formed his own part y, the Partido Lakas ng Tao, which coalesced with the National Union of Christia n Democrats. Their union was later known as the Lakas-NUCD, but is now known as

the Lakas-Christian and Muslim Democrats. The LDP was headed by Ramon Mitra. Dur ing these elections, the Nacionalista Party also split into two. The Nacionalist as were led by Salvador Laurel while the splinter group, led by Danding Cojuangc o, was known as the Nationalist People's Coalition or NPC. In the 1998 general elections, three new political parties formed: the Partido n g Masang Pilipino by Joseph Estrada, the Aksyon Demokratiko (Democratic Action) by Raul Roco, and the Kabalikat ng Mamamayang Pilipino (KAMPI) by Gloria Macapag al-Arroyo. There were other regional parties, including Panaghiusa (precursor of the Osmeas' BO-PK), and the Mindanao Alliance in Mindanao, though many of them are now defu nct. [edit]Administrative subdivisions The Philippines is divided into a hierarchy of local government units (LGUs) wit h the province as the primary unit. As of 2007, there are 81 provinces in the co untry. Provinces are further subdivided into cities and municipalities, which ar e in turn, composed of barangays. The barangay is the smallest local government unit. A Philippine province is headed by a Governor. A Provincial Council (Sangg uniang Panlalawigan) is composed of a Vice Governor (Presiding Officer) and Prov incial Board Members. A Philippine city or municipality is headed by a Mayor. a City Council (Sangguniang Panlungsod) or Municipal Council (Sangguniang Bayan) i s composed of a Vice Mayor (Presiding Officer) and City or Municipal Councillors . A barangay is headed by a Barangay Captain, who is also the presiding officer of the Barangay council (Sangguniang Barangay). The Barangay Council is composed of seven Barangay Kagawads. A similar unit called a Youth Council (Sangguniang Kabataan) is headed by an SK Chairperson with a similar rank to a Barangay KAGAW AD. The council is composed of SK Members. The term of office for all local elected officials is three years, starting from noon of June 30 of an election year. No local elective official may serve for m ore than three consecutive terms in the same position. Voluntary renunciation of the office for any length of time is not considered as an interruption in the c ontinuity of service for the full term for which the elective official concerned was elected. Barangay and SK officials are elected to a term of five years, sta rting from noon of the date as prescribed by law. The current barangay organic l aw sets the date of November 12, 2007 as the effective date. Current barangay an d SK officials started terms August 15, 2002. The next barangay and SK election will be on October 29, 2007. All provinces are grouped into 17 regions for administrative convenience. Most g overnment offices establish regional offices to serve the constituent provinces. The regions themselves do not possess a separate local government, with the exc eption of the Muslim Mindanaoregion, which is autonomous. The Cordillera Adminis trative Region will become an autonomous region and will receive the setup grant ed to Muslim Mindanao if voters would approve an organic law that would create a Cordillera Autonomous Region. [edit]International organization participation The Philippines is a founding and active member of the United Nations since its inception on October 24, 1945 and is a founding member of the Association of Sou theast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The Philippines is also a member of the East Asia Summit (EAS), an active player in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Latin Union and a member of the Group of 24. The country is amajor non-NATO ally of the U.S., and also a member of the Non-Aligned Movement.

The nation scored 2.4 in the TI index, compa red to 2.3 in 2008, which ranked it equal to Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Baltic state of Belarus.[5] [edit]Corruption Improvements As of 2011, the Philippines came in at 129 with a 2.6 CPI in Transparency Intern ational's list that ranks 178 countries and territories based on how corrupt the ir public sector is perceived to be. This is better than the Philippines' 134th ranking in 2010 with a 2.4 CPI. The C PI score indicates the perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 0 - 10, where 0 means that a country is perceived as highly corrupt and 10 mean s that a country is perceived as very clean. Transparency International-Philippines said some of the factors that contributed to the Philippines' (2.6) slight jump are the improvement in government service , and cutting red tape. The group believes that the government's efforts to prosecute former President G loria Macapagal-Arroyo may positively affect the perception on corruption as thi s shows the government means business.
