MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – There’s not a whole lot of Constitutional requirements for Filipinos to be able to run for President of the country. But one of the great hindrances is age. One has to be at least 40 years old to run for the top position in the land.

Kabataan Partylist, the political party that advocates for the youth, is not happy about this qualification as it excludes millions of their members from the ultimate public servce.

Today, Kabataan Partylist Representative Raoul Manuel announced that he is filing for a Constitutional Amendment that would reduce the age qualification to run for President from 40 to 35, starting with the 2028 elections.

The proposal was immediately praised and embraced by the country’s millennials. “It’s time we were given the opportunity to chart our own future,” they said.

Among those who will benefit from this proposal is Sandro Marcos, the very popular son of President Bongbong Marcos. The younger Marcos is serving a Congressional Representative of his Ilocos district.

Sandro is 29 years old and wont’ be old enough to run for President to succeed his father in 2028. But if the Kabataan Partylist had its way, the eloquent and good-looking Congressman can set his sight on Malacañang come 2028.
