Only a few families control our politics, government and - TopicsExpress

Only a few families control our politics, government and country. In fact, only 178 families control our political system, according to the 2014 study of Julio Teehankee, college dean at De La Salle University in Manila. Around 75 percent of the members of Congress and around 80 percent of the governors and mayors belong to political dynasties, according to the 2014 study of Ronald Mendoza, director of the Asian Institute of Management’s Policy Center. These dynasties have captured Congress and the leaderships of local government units. They have become a “major obstacle” to progress in the rural areas. Too often, public funds and other resources intended to develop the rural areas get hijacked by corrupt local politicians and do not reach the people. As a result, the wealth and businesses of politicians often flourish, while their constituents remain poor.
