Lawmaker files anti-padrino bill
The Philippine Star
|July 14, 2025
A bill advocating meritocracy in government appointments and promotions and seeking to stamp out political patronage has been filed at the House of Representatives, to dismantle the padrino system in Philippine governance.
Rep. Robert Nazal of Bagong Henerasyon party-list authored House Bill 242 or the proposed "Gobyernong Walang Padrino Act."
"The so-called padrino system, wherein appointments, promotions and contracts are secured through political connections rather than qualifications, has entrenched mediocrity, stifled innovation, and perpetrated a culture of dependency, corruption and impunity," he said.
