The Philippine House of Representatives — 80% of whose members are descended from elite families — has passed an anti-dynasty bill (HB 8389) that changes nothing. A second-degree limit on blood and marriage relations leaves cousins and nephews untouched, family members can hold simultaneous offices across different tiers of government, and party-list mechanisms remain available as a workaround.
