    Pre-Spanish Period

    The second period of United States rule—from 1936 to 1946—was characterized by the establishment of the Commonwealth of the Philippines and occupation by Japan during World War II. Legislation passed by the U.S. Congress in 1934 provided for a 10-year period of transition to independence. The country’s first constitution was framed in 1934 and overwhelmingly approved by plebiscite in 1935, and Manuel Quezon was elected president of the commonwealth. Quezon later died in exile in 1944 and was succeeded by Vice President Sergio Osmeña.…

    QUIRINO, ELPIDIO [Quirino, Elpidio] , 1890-1956, Filipino statesman, b. Ilocos Sur prov., Luzon. After he was admitted (1915) to the bar he became a law clerk in the Philippine senate.

    Political Dynasties in the Philippines

    The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines dynasty as a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time. In the Philippines, according to a research by the Center for People Empowerment and Governance, we have about 250 political families who have dominated Philippine politics at the national and local level. This is 0.00001667 % of the country's 15 million families (CENPEG, 2007). They comprise a little, among the represented Filipinos in the country, whom majority are not as elite and as wealthy as they are, and whose interests and needs are not the same as theirs. Roland G. Simbulan, a notable political scientist of the University of the Philippines, says: “Political dynasties distort governance, and make a sham of democratic governance. Through these, public office becomes an exclusive family franchise, and a provider of more benefits to family interests” (20). Political dynasties in the country should be banned for it does not benefit the people and the state; it only benefits those in power. They shut opportunities and hinder true services by the more deserving leaders who are not fortunate to win against these ruling families in the elections. This violates Sec. 26 Art. II of the 1987 Constitution which states: “The State shall guarantee equal access to opportunities for public service, and prohibit political dynasties as may be defined by law.” Unfortunately, no law supports this yet. Since 1987, a lot of legislators have tried to pass a law to abolish political dynasties but have failed. This is mainly because most lawmakers come from political dynasties. Thus Simbulan is right when he said that, “Wealthy and powerful families have dominated politics in the Philippines, concentrating power to the elite families, promoting corruption and abuse of power” (7).…
