• Congressman, Governor, Mayor, and all other local officials: 3-year tenure per term with a maximum of 3 consecutive terms, for a total of 9 years

Effects of Political Dynasties

Pablo Querubin's 2013 research found that despite the Constitution's limitations on elected officials' terms, political power remains in affluent families due to their frequent positions or appointments. This popularity boosts their chances of winning elections. The 11th Congress of the Philippines introduced the Party-List System Act to provide representation for marginalized groups and sectors in Congress.

negative effects

1. Patronage politics and corruption: Political dynasties can lead to patronage politics, where politicians use their power to benefit their family and friends. 2. Abuse of power: Political dynasties can result in the abuse of power, as politicians may use their influence to enrich themselves and their families, rather than serving the best interests of their constituents.
