I asked the new mayor of Davao, who is the daughter of the old mayor (and new vice-mayor) what she thought about political dynasties, given that the Philippine constitution has a clause authorizing Congress to legislate against them.
She said: (a) well, anyone can run in the election and (b) you have George Bush 1 and 2, no? Sigh.
Lol. I remember when Clinton was a real possibility for '08 and someone was like "Wtf, then we'd have Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush-Clinton...."
