Fight political dynasties, public urged

THE group petitioning for the disqualification of the candidacies of former president Rodrigo Duterte, Speaker Martin Romualdez, Sen. Cynthia Villar, Ilocos Gov. Matthew Marcos Manotoc, and Catanduanes Vice Gov. Peter Cua called on the public to carry on the fight against political dynasties.

«We are encouraging the public to file separate disqualification cases against the dynasties in their respective areas because these dynasties can only be disqualified as candidates or removed from office if a disqualification case is filed against them. If no disqualification case is filed against them, they will remain in office,» said Alex Lacson, Alyansa ng Nagkakaisang Mamamayan (ANIM) lead lawyer for the Anti-Dynasty Campaign.
