Palace: Marcos pushes anti-dynasty bill, other priority measures to stop abuse of power
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is pushing for the proposed anti-dynasty bill and three other measures to stop the abuse of power and strengthen Filipinos’ rights to choose their leaders. In a press conference on Dec. 10, 2025, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro stressed the importance of the proposed Anti-Dynasty Bill, Party-list System Reform Act, Independent People’s Commission Act, and Citizen Access and Disclosure of Expenditures for National Accountability Act, citing shifts in the country’s political environment and growing public clamor for fairer governance. Castro said the public demanded 'a fairer system.' 'The President wants to let the people know that you have a choice — one based on merit, not just because you share the same surname,' she added. In 2022, Marcos, as a presidential aspirant, said that there was nothing wrong with political dynasties, saying politics was all about performance.
