Rationale
Simbulan (2007) stated that political dynasty is a succession of people from the same
family who plays a role in politics, and now one of the problems in the Philippine politics that
the government can't solve. It is because the people in the position are those who are involved in
these political dynasties. These people want to stay in their position because they want power for
personal gain.
Almost all citizens know that political dynasties are lurking in the government but still, they
continue to support them even though political dynasties are unconstitutional. They can't be
blamed because those candidates who have political dynasties use their influences and money to
dominate and manipulate the politics. Since this country doesn't distribute good quality of life to
its citizens, those who are in the position are greedy and maybe scared because they don't want to
experience a difficult life.
As of 2007, different cities in the Philippines are being ruled by about 250 political
dynasties. They have the superiority in the Philippine politics both national and local levels have
been there for at least three decades (Simbulan, 2007).
With the statement mentioned, the researchers came up to this study since the level of
political dynasty in the government is alarming and the researchers should study this because it is
them and their fellow citizens who will suffer if this continues. The study, as stated before, will
focus on the different causes and impacts towards the society and the government. They are
eager to get the results which they know would be helpful for the citizens to be more aware to its
side effects and also for the other lawmakers to see the views of the other people.
