    The Probable Corruption of Political Dynasty
    I. Introduction
    A. Background Information
    Political dynasty has been a prevalent issue in the Philippines where the first political
    dynasty was believed to be recorded during the pre-Magellanic period (CABIGAO, 2013).
    Political dynasty is defined as the concentration, consolidation or perpetuation of
    public office and political power by persons related to one another (The Anti-Political
    Dynasty Act of 2013, No.1906, Sec. 3). Though political dynasty does not guarantee
    corruption or poverty because of the democratic voting right and power still entrusted
    to the people, it does, however, increase the likelihood of corruption.
    B. Thesis Statement: The Anti- Political should be approved.
    II. Body
    A. Argument #1: Last names become a branding symbol to gain political power
    i. Counter Argument: Voters are educated enough to make their own decision
    ii. Refutation: It unjustly associated the achievement of one family member to the rest
    of the family members. Pablo Querubins research on causal effect between wining
    elections and having relatives in office (Curato, 2012).
    B. Argument # 2: Political Dynasty creates an unfair voting environment for those who wish to
    run but are supported by a powerful political last name
    i. Counter Argument: All running government official should prove their worth to the
    people regardless of the influences which their last names might carry
    ii. Reputation: It is becomes impossible for these running officials to show their real
    worth when what most of the voters only see are the names of those who belong to
    a politically powerful family. This is similar to the saying those in power write
    history.
    C. Argument #3: Political dynasty allows the retention of power and influence within their
    family.
    i. Counter Argument: The gaining of power and influence in general isnt inherently
    wrong, especially when it is well deserved. Families that grow up in the same
    ideology can also better progress previous projects.
    ii. Refutation: Political Dynasty throws away the check and balance of power and
    influence.
    III. Conclusion
    Though Political Dynasty does not and is not a guarantee for corruption, it does however
    increase the probability of it. This probability for corruption is what the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill
    wishes to cease before does become a reality. By enacting the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill, the voting
    environment in the Philippines would become more just since last names would cease in being
    branding symbols and all running official, who are not part of a political dynasty, would be credited
    by their own worth, rather than how well their last names are known. Aside from the fairness it
    would bring to the voting environment, the Anti-Political Dynasty bill would also ensure the check
    and balance amongst existing officials would remain and self-interest would be monitored.
