'Di nagbasa ng Konstitusyon!'
'DI NAGBASA NG KONSTITUSYON!'
Kabataan Partylist Rep. Raoul Manuel criticized Sen. Cynthia Villar for defending political dynasties, accusing her of ignoring the Constitution's prohibition against them.
"Di nagbasa ng Konstitusyon! Ang sabi dun, bawal ang political dynasty. Di sinabing bigyan muna ng chance ang mga dynasty na patunayan kung mabuti sila o hindi. Sakit sa ulo! 🤕," Manuel said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, March 5.
Villar, speaking earlier at the "Kapihan sa Manila Bay" forum, argued that there is nothing wrong with political families as long as they genuinely serve the people.
"There is nothing wrong with dynasty who will serve the people. Masama 'yung dynasty na niloloko mga tao, 'di ba? Hindi ba mas maganda if you have a rich— if your family likes to serve the people, and you're serving the people well, and you're honest, and you're hardworking? There's nothing wrong with that," she said.
She defended her daughter, Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar, who is seeking to switch positions with her in the 2025 elections, saying Camille's education and experience make her qualified for the Senate.
Addressing criticisms of political dynasties, Villar said voters ultimately decide who gets elected.
"If you don't like dynasty, then don't vote for them, 'di ba?" she said.
