00:00The issue of deep-seated and massive corruption in the bureaucracy which resurfaced in the flood control mess
00:06is intertwined with patronage, politics, and the familian personalities behind it.
00:12Thus, a proposed anti-political bill is high in next month's legislative agenda
00:16with no less than the sitting-house speaker who is sponsoring and filing a consolidated version of it
00:23which our Mela Lismora sums up in this report.
00:27As part of the House of Representatives' anti-corruption efforts,
00:33the House Committee on Suffrage and Electoral Reforms is targeting to begin discussions
00:38on the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill this December.
00:41According to Committee Chair Zia Alon to Adyong,
00:44they are only waiting for the version to be filed by House Speaker Faustino Bojidi III
00:49so it can be consolidated with other related proposals.
00:52Isa po ito sa mga prioridad ng leadership ng House of Representatives.
00:58So, meron po tayo kung diyan nakahain natin kung mga sham na versions.
01:03So, ang sa akin lang, a position ko, and I told this to the speaker,
01:06that we are waiting for the version that would be carried by the leadership of the House
01:11so that we can consolidate, no?
01:12At present, lawmakers have different views on what the proper definition of a political dynasty should be.
01:19But Adyong stressed that they will also listen to the voice of the people.
01:23I think it's good also and healthy for us to discuss about how the public really view and define.
01:31Meron po kaming anti-political dynasty in the barm.
01:34So, kaya nga sabi ko nga, with or without this bill, in 2028,
01:38kundi ako nagkakamali, meron din anti-political dynasty in the barm.
01:43Ang nilagay po doon ng parliament na pinasa po nila is within second degree.
01:49Second degree of consagud.
01:51Currently, one of the challenges being faced by the lower house
01:55is the involvement of some lawmakers in the flood control scandal.
01:58But Speaker D has already assured that house lawmakers will cooperate with all investigations
02:04while also performing their duties and responsibilities.
02:08The Makabayan Block, meanwhile, asserted once again,
02:11Lahat ng sangkot dapat managot.
02:14So talaga namang mali ang nakaupo sa pwesto na opisyal
02:21tapos meron din directang involvement sa mga contracts, franchises, at iba pa.
02:29So mali talaga yan, no?
02:31At dapat talagang imbestigahan at kasuhan yung mga dapat kasuhan.
