In the Philippine Politics, the political dynasty is vogue, there are sets of different families who are running in politics. The example of this political dynasties were the Aquino's and the Marcos'es. Until now their clans are strutting in the Philippine government.In fact, the current president of the Philippines is Benigno Aquino III who is the son of former Senator Benigno Aquino Jr. who happens to be the rival of the former President of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos.
In relation with the political dynasties, we have another type of politicians which is known as "Bimpo." It's almost the same with political dynasties, the only difference is the father, mother or any elder member of the family who have a position in government encourages their son, daughter, niece and other member of the family to be the one who could replace them or to run as an another politician of the clan.
The last type are the "Traditional politician or simply Trapo" They are the typical type of politician who made an excessive and exaggerated action in order to promote their names. They used TV advertisement, calender with their pictures, huge tarpaulins and even their own money to buy the vote of the people.
If I will ask you, what kind of politician do you prefer? are you going to vote those who belong to political dynasties? or you're going with the trapo's and the bimpo's? for me, as long as the candidate is deserving to be in that specific positions, then I will go for them. Remember nobody is perfect, like us, most of them made mistakes. Just assess them base on their ability, capacity and dedication to serve the nation.
