Baguio City Lone District Representative Mauricio Domogan said they are continuing to deliberate on measures aimed at prohibiting political dynasties in the country.

Domogan bared that 20 lawmakers have filed versions of the Anti-Dynasty Bill in Congress. Most proponents suggest that relatives within the second degree of consanguinity should be barred from running for office simultaneously in a single election.

However, some filed versions seek to extend this restriction up to the fourth degree of consanguinity.

Domogan is among those proposing that the limit reach the fourth degree. His proposal includes a provision allowing a family member to run in a subsequent election, provided that the incumbent relative has finished their term or is no longer seeking office.

The representative acknowledged that these proposals face extensive discussions to establish a precise definition of political dynasty. He noted that the 1987 Constitution lacks a clear definition of the term, necessitating further legislative clarification.

Several constitutional experts were invited during the initial deliberations, but officials stated that the information gathered remains insufficient. This has resulted in the scheduling of further discussions to refine the bill.
