MANILA, Philippines – The House of Representatives begins plenary discussions on Tuesday, March 17, on a proposal to define and regulate political dynasties.
The prevailing version of the bill is strikingly similar to the one filed by Speaker Bojie Dy and House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos.
The only major difference is that the anti-dynasty ban has been relaxed from up to the fourth degree of consanguinity to only second degree.
The committee-approved bill describes a political dynasty relationship as an existing family connection between an incumbent elected official and anyone related to them up to the second degree of consanguinity or affinity.
The prohibition, however, is based only on territory or government level.
It bars relatives:
- of national elective officials from holding other national elective posts
- from running for the same congressional office in a legislative district at the same time
- of provincial elective officials from holding other elective posts in the same provincial government
- of municipal or city elective officials from holding other elective posts in the same municipal or city government
- of barangay elective officials from holding other elective posts in the same barangay
This template allows numerous members of the same political family to still be in elective office.
The bill also does not seek to address the longstanding ill of successive dynasties.

Why Netflix’s Investment In Boxing Is A Marriage Made In Heaven
The post Why Netflix’s Investment In Boxing Is A Marriage Made In Heaven appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Terence Crawford fought Canelo Alvarez in a championship bout aired on Netflix. (Photo by Josh Hedges/TKO Worldwide LLC via Getty Images) TKO Worldwide LLC via Getty Images It’s a question that often gets asked: Is boxing a dying sport? And here’s the one-word proof of how silly the question is: Netflix. The streaming giant has leaped into the squared circle, airing boxing events that have recorded bonkers viewership numbers that ultimately drive the all-powerful advertising and sponsorship dollar. Think about this: Netflix announced that 41 million viewers tuned in to the streaming service to watch Saturday night’s Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford fight; that’s five million more viewers than the first four games combined of the 2025 NBA finals. The event, which saw Crawford dethrone Alvarez for the super middleweight title, was also No. 1 on Netflix in 30 countries, including the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Ireland and Australia, while also cracking the top 10 in 91 other countries. It should be noted that Netflix’s metrics are a result of a combination of internal, non-audited data and measurement from VideoAmp, a challenger to Nielsen that’s not been granted accreditation from the Media Ratings Council, as reported by Front Office Sports. Nevertheless, even bigger viewership numbers are expected when Netflix airs the next Jake Paul fight on November 14 — a match that will pit Paul against Gervonta “Tank” Davis, the current lightweight champion who has mass appeal with 7.5 million followers on Instagram alone. Netflix has seen how Paul leverages his enormous social media following, bringing new and younger fans to boxing, and how he also creates compelling storylines that attract significant media attention. Like Paul, Netflix has its own formula for success in the boxing ring: It leverages its production expertise to build hype around live events through documentaries, behind-the-scenes features, and…
