7 |PageThis body has already made a decision on the same point, and secondly, for the reasons I havestated,Idonotthinkweshouldcurtailtherightofthepeopletoafreechoiceonwhotheirpolitical leader should be, Monsod said.I would like to comment on the assertion of Commissioner Monsod that this was alreadyadequately discussed, Nolledo replied. The issue, at that time, was whether toauthorizeCongress to include in the Local Government Code a provision against political dynasty. Andthe issue here now is whether toput that as a declatory principle.Ople then rose and asked Nolledo whether political dynasties were a cause or an effect,considering the lopsided socioeconomic system in the countryside where the advantage of birthfavored those more likely to fall in the category of dynasties as Nolledo called them.The reasons groups of families rotate power only among themselves is that they were the onlyones with the means for sustaining political campaigns, is that not correct? Ople asked.Yes, the Commissioner is correct, Nolledo replied.In that sense, therefore, so-called dynasties are the effects rather than the causes of animperfectsocial and economicsystem, especially in the countryside, Oplesaid.That is a factor to be considered, Nolledo answered.Ople countered by suggesting that if political dynasties were the effect rather than the causes ofprevailingandtraditionalsocialstructuresthatmaldistributeopportunities,shouldthisCommission not attack the causes rather than theeffects?Ople also suggested that the word dynasty was probably being misapplied to distinguishedpoliticalfamilies.HementionedthepoliticalfamiliesofCojuangcoandAquinoinTarlac,thePadillafamilyinManilaandPangasinan,theRodrigofamilyinBulacan,theLaurelfamilyinBatangasandtheSumulong-CojuangcofamilyinRizal,andtheCalderonfamilyinNuevaVizcaya.We see lots of evidence that in fact, people disadvantaged by the accident of birth have indeedrisen through their own efforts to become successful competitors of entrenched politicaldynasties in their provinces and cities, Ople said.Ople also asked Nolledo if the right of suffrage should not be abridged. Ople explained that theright to vote and to be voted upon was derived from the same concept of the right of suffrage.Nolledodeniedthathisproposaldidnotinfringe upontherightofsuffrage. We onlyregulatethe right of some people to run because we want to equalize the conditions between the poor andthe rich candidates, he said.

8 |PagePros and ConsCommissioner Serafin Guingona then rose and supported Nolledo. Guingona noted that theprovisiononpoliticaldynastieswouldbemoreacceptabletotheCommissionifthewordprohibit was changed to regulate and that the phrase as provided by law be added.Commisioners Rene Sarmiento and Minda Luz Quesada then rose to speak in favor of the sectionon politicaldynasties.Commissioner Florangel Rosario Braid then asked Nolledo if the prohibition on politicaldynasties would lead to the development of a pluralistic society and widen politicalopportunities.Nolledo answered, yes.Monsod then rose in defense of the deletion.The matter was called for a nominal voting on the motion to delete the prohibition on politicaldynasties. According to the minutes of the Constitutional Commission, there were at least tworoll calls made to settle the matter. In the end, the motion to delete the prohibition was turneddown by one vote. ZResumptionOnce the session resumed, Sarmiento opposed Monsods motion.Davide, whoabstained, sided with Monsod in calling for a revote. Davide added that Monsodsmotion was in order.The Presiding Officer, Commissioner Efrain Treas, then called for a vote on Monsods motion.Commissioner Luz Quesada questioned the ruling, prompting the presiding officer to say, Let thewhole Commission decide this matter.At3:13p.m.,Monsodthenaskedtohavethesessionsuspendedforafewminutes.Hismotionwas granted.

9 |PageWhen the session resumed at 3:27 p.m., Sarmiento rose and told the Presiding Officer thatMonsodsmotionwasimproperbecauseundertherulesbeingusedbytheCommission,commissioners were not allowed to change their vote.Monsod then withdrew his motion.In the interest of the body so that we do not exacerbate the situation, I would like to withdrawmy motion, Monsod explained.Davides proposalDavide thensuggestedacompromise. Hesuggested thatthe wordBROADENbechangedtothe following: ENSURE EQUAL ACCESS TO.Then instead of OFFICE, I proposeto substitute the same with the word SERVICE, Davideproposed. Sothe entiresection willread: The Stateshall ensureequal access toopportunitiesto public service and prohibit political dynasties.If we change OFFICE to SERVICE, we would refer to both elective and appointivepositions,Davideexplained.Andpoliticaldynastiesdonotnecessarilyapplytoelectivepositions alone. They would include appointive positions and perhaps more on the latter becauseit is easier to get a political appointment if somebody close to the family is an elective official,but it is difficult to have a political dynasty on the basis of election because election is anexpensive exercise.I changed theword BROADEN to ENSURE EQUAL ACCESS because what is importantwould be equal access to the opportunity, he added.Davides motion was accepted.But the fight was not over.(TO BE CONTINUED)Based onthe minutesofthe meetingsofthe 1986 ConstitutionalCommission.In Photo:Members of the Movement Against Dynasties launch an initative to gather signaturesto convince the COMELEC toenforce the constitutional ban on political dynasties.
