Imagine a Senate that looks more of a family reunion than a legislative body. With three Dutertes (four if you include Imee Marcos), three Villars, two Cayetanos, two Estradas, two Binays and two Tulfos, the Senate will be transformed into a who’s-who of political dynasties.Debates would be less about policies and more about whose turn it is to take the family yacht.

Forget bipartisan politics; this is bi-household governance. Proposals are passed at family dinners and vetoed during weekend getaways. It’s a legislative body where the biggest concern isn’t corruption, but who’s bringing the lechon to the next session.

The Senate now doubles as a reality TV show, with family feuds aired live for the nation. The only thing missing is a theme song. Welcome to the new era of Filipino politics, where every vote counts—especially if you’re part of the family.
