So I was reading through the third-reading copy of House Bill No. 8389 (the Anti-Political Dynasty Act) that our honorable representatives just pushed through. At first glance you'd think, "Wow, finally! Progress!"

But look closely at the text and it's practically a masterclass in legal loopholes.

The prohibited relationships section only bans relatives within the exact same political unit. For example:

-You can't have two relatives as congressmen in the same district.

-You can't have a husband as Governor and a wife as Vice Governor.

-You can't have brothers as Mayor and Vice Mayor of the same town.

But notice what it conveniently leaves out? It does nothing to stop a District Representative (Congressman) from having their spouse rule as City or Municipal Mayor in that exact same area, because under this bill, the House of Representatives and a City Government count as "different political units."

And guess who's among the lawmakers who backed this version? None other than our very own Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap II.

How convenient. By signing off on this specific version, a politician gets to publicly flex as "anti-dynasty" while legally ensuring their own family's setup — one spouse holding the 1st District congressional seat, the other holding the Tagbilaran city mayoralty — stays 100% legal and untouched.

Good PR for "reforming" politics, zero risk to their own family's power.

Make it make sense. 🎭 Double standards at its finest.
