Lapid backs anti-dynasty bill, urges lawmakers to 'break cycle,' open doors for youth

Sen. Lito Lapid on Dec. 11, 2025 endorses the proposed Anti-Political Dynasty Law, urging fellow lawmakers to 'break the cycle' of entrenched family rule and give young Filipinos a genuine chance to participate in public service. Lapid, now serving his fourth nonconsecutive Senate term since 2004, said he was prepared to vote in favor of the measure, emphasizing that politics must not remain exclusive to families with wealth, machinery, and longstanding influence.
