00:00President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. directs Congress to prioritize legislation that would prohibit
00:05political dynasties. Aside from the anti-dynasty bill, Marcos also prioritizes the following proposed
00:12measures. The Independent People's Commission Act, the Partylist System Reform Act, and the
00:17Citizens' Access and Disclosure of Expenditures for National Accountability, or CADENA Act.
00:23All four proposed measures in one way or another would theoretically promote reform in Philippine
00:27Politics and Governance. The Independent People's Commission Act, for instance, would institutionalize
00:33the Independent Commission for Infrastructure, an ad hoc body created by Marcos to review a decade's
00:38worth of government infrastructure projects. Present at the Legislative Executive Development
00:43Advisory Council meeting on Tuesday, December 9, were Senate President Tito Soto, House Speaker Bo G.D.,
00:49Presidential Sun and House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos, and other congressional leaders.
00:53Like the Marcoses, Soto and D. also have relatives in elected posts in government.
00:59Advocates have long pushed for the passage of an anti-dynasty bill, but it has been difficult
01:03for the proposed legislation to hurdle Congress, an institution dominated by politicians who come
01:08from dynasties themselves.
