POLITICAL
DYNASTY
Political Dynasty is the passing of power from one member of the family
to another member. Members may be  or multiple siblings may related
by blood or marriage; often several generationsbe involved. It is the
succession passing of a particular position in politics.
• It is a family in which several members are involved in politics and
businesses, particularly electoral politics.

POLITICAL DYNASTY IN THE
PHILIPPINES
• Political dynasties have long been a feature of the Philippine political landscape.
They are typically characterized as families that have established their political or
economic dominance in a province and have coordinated efforts to move on to
involvement in national government or other positions of national political that
treats people prominence. Political dynasties usually have a strong, consolidated
support base concentrated around the province in which they are dominant.
Members of such dynasties usually do not limit their involvement to strictly
political activities, and have been found participating in business or culture-
related activities."

• Political dynasties also have extra incentive to develop
their own jurisdictions. Based on Mancur Olson's theory
of political governance or the "Roving Bandits vs.
Stationary Bandits" theory, dynastic politicians are more
likely to pursue long-term development oriented
strategies since they expect to hold power and benefit
from their position for longer. This is usually set in
contrast to non-dynastic politicians who would, under
this theory, have less incentive to develop due to their
limited term. Political dynasties can gain benefits either
directly or indirectly through their relatives. 5
DISADVANTAGES OF
POLITICAL DYNASTY

• The political dynasty is said to monopolize the system of
governance since it limits the chances of other common
Filipinos to serve the people. It creates a brain drain in the
sense that the new and capable leader who could possibly
perform better than those currently in office, would not be
given an opportunity when running against someone with a
name. There is also significant evidence to suggest that
Philippine political dynasties use their political dominance
over their respective regions to enrich themselves, using
methods such as graft or outright bribery of legislators. These
kinds of situations arise as conflicts of interests- political
dynasties often hold significant economic power in a province- 7
