Dy, Sandro file anti-political dynasty bill
Manila Bulletin
|December 12, 2025
House Speaker Faustino "Bojie" Dy III and presidential son Ilocos Norte first district Rep. Sandro Marcos have jointly penned and filed their version of the proposed Anti-Political Dynasty Act.
The measure, embodied in House Bill (HB) No. 6771, was read on the floor during plenary session on Wednesday night, Dec. 10.
It was referred to the Committee on Suffrage and Electoral Reforms chaired by Lanao del Sur first district Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong.
The measure is seen to boost the House of Representatives' intention to pass an Anti-Political Dynasty Act, a very contentious law in the local political landscape, in the current 20th Congress.
It says that Article II, Section 26 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides that "(t)he State shall guarantee equal access to opportunities for public service and prohibit political dynasties as may be defined by law."
HB No. 6771 and similar bills referred to the suffrage panel seeks to finally institutionalize such law.
