7 |PageThis body has already made a decision on the same point,
and secondly, for the reasons I
havestated,Idonotthinkweshouldcurtailtherightofthepeopletoafreechoiceonwhotheirpolitical
leader should be, Monsod said.I would like to comment on the
assertion of Commissioner Monsod that this was alreadyadequately
discussed, Nolledo replied. The issue, at that time, was whether
toauthorizeCongress to include in the Local Government Code a
provision against political dynasty. Andthe issue here now is
whether toput that as a declatory principle.Ople then rose and
asked Nolledo whether political dynasties were a cause or an
effect,considering the lopsided socioeconomic system in the
countryside where the advantage of birthfavored those more likely
to fall in the category of dynasties as Nolledo called them.The
reasons groups of families rotate power only among themselves is
that they were the onlyones with the means for sustaining political
campaigns, is that not correct? Ople asked.Yes, the Commissioner is
correct, Nolledo replied.In that sense, therefore, so-called
dynasties are the effects rather than the causes of
animperfectsocial and economicsystem, especially in the
countryside, Oplesaid.That is a factor to be considered, Nolledo
answered.Ople countered by suggesting that if political dynasties
were the effect rather than the causes
ofprevailingandtraditionalsocialstructuresthatmaldistributeopportunities,shouldthisCommission
not attack the causes rather than theeffects?Ople also suggested
that the word dynasty was probably being misapplied to
distinguishedpoliticalfamilies.HementionedthepoliticalfamiliesofCojuangcoandAquinoinTarlac,thePadillafamilyinManilaandPangasinan,theRodrigofamilyinBulacan,theLaurelfamilyinBatangasandtheSumulong-CojuangcofamilyinRizal,andtheCalderonfamilyinNuevaVizcaya.We
see lots of evidence that in fact, people disadvantaged by the
accident of birth have indeedrisen through their own efforts to
become successful competitors of entrenched politicaldynasties in
their provinces and cities, Ople said.Ople also asked Nolledo if
the right of suffrage should not be abridged. Ople explained that
theright to vote and to be voted upon was derived from the same
concept of the right of
suffrage.Nolledodeniedthathisproposaldidnotinfringe
upontherightofsuffrage. We onlyregulatethe right of some people to
run because we want to equalize the conditions between the poor
andthe rich candidates, he said.
8 |PagePros and ConsCommissioner Serafin Guingona then rose and
supported Nolledo. Guingona noted that
theprovisiononpoliticaldynastieswouldbemoreacceptabletotheCommissionifthewordprohibit
was changed to regulate and that the phrase as provided by law be
added.Commisioners Rene Sarmiento and Minda Luz Quesada then rose
to speak in favor of the sectionon politicaldynasties.Commissioner
Florangel Rosario Braid then asked Nolledo if the prohibition on
politicaldynasties would lead to the development of a pluralistic
society and widen politicalopportunities.Nolledo answered,
yes.Monsod then rose in defense of the deletion.The matter was
called for a nominal voting on the motion to delete the prohibition
on politicaldynasties. According to the minutes of the
Constitutional Commission, there were at least tworoll calls made
to settle the matter. In the end, the motion to delete the
prohibition was turneddown by one vote. ZResumptionOnce the session
resumed, Sarmiento opposed Monsods motion.Davide, whoabstained,
sided with Monsod in calling for a revote. Davide added that
Monsodsmotion was in order.The Presiding Officer, Commissioner
Efrain Treas, then called for a vote on Monsods motion.Commissioner
Luz Quesada questioned the ruling, prompting the presiding officer
to say, Let thewhole Commission decide this
matter.At3:13p.m.,Monsodthenaskedtohavethesessionsuspendedforafewminutes.Hismotionwas
granted.
9 |PageWhen the session resumed at 3:27 p.m., Sarmiento rose and
told the Presiding Officer
thatMonsodsmotionwasimproperbecauseundertherulesbeingusedbytheCommission,commissioners
were not allowed to change their vote.Monsod then withdrew his
motion.In the interest of the body so that we do not exacerbate the
situation, I would like to withdrawmy motion, Monsod
explained.Davides proposalDavide thensuggestedacompromise.
Hesuggested thatthe wordBROADENbechangedtothe following: ENSURE
EQUAL ACCESS TO.Then instead of OFFICE, I proposeto substitute the
same with the word SERVICE, Davideproposed. Sothe entiresection
willread: The Stateshall ensureequal access toopportunitiesto
public service and prohibit political dynasties.If we change OFFICE
to SERVICE, we would refer to both elective and
appointivepositions,Davideexplained.Andpoliticaldynastiesdonotnecessarilyapplytoelectivepositions
alone. They would include appointive positions and perhaps more on
the latter becauseit is easier to get a political appointment if
somebody close to the family is an elective official,but it is
difficult to have a political dynasty on the basis of election
because election is anexpensive exercise.I changed theword BROADEN
to ENSURE EQUAL ACCESS because what is importantwould be equal
access to the opportunity, he added.Davides motion was accepted.But
the fight was not over.(TO BE CONTINUED)Based onthe minutesofthe
meetingsofthe 1986 ConstitutionalCommission.In Photo:Members of the
Movement Against Dynasties launch an initative to gather
signaturesto convince the COMELEC toenforce the constitutional ban
on political dynasties.
