Why Does Government Hates Competitions?
Clever words are used on that quote but, really, why does the government hates competitions? Do they really hate competitions or the competitors themselves? But the real thing here is this, the government doesn't want you to steal, because they want to be the only kin to burglarize the people blind. In short, corruption. The government hates theft because when you steal, you’re cutting in on their action! We, Filipinos, get the idea of what this quote means. With the kind of government that we have, we can actually see and feel that the government really hates competitions. An example for this is the so called “Political Dynasty” which is now a big contention here in our country. So, what is political dynasty and why is it an issue? Political …show more content…
Simply because the more family members that are a government official, the more they can corrupt or steal. A perfect example for this is the Binay family. Starting off with our very own Vice President, Jejomor “Jojo” Binay, his daughter Senator Nancy Binay, Makati Rep. Abigail Binay-Campos and Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin “Junjun” Binay Jr. As you can see on the news this past few months, they have this 42,157 square meter parcel hacienda which is located at Rosario, Batangas, a resort in Tingloy, Batangas, condominiums and pent houses in Makati. How could they afford to buy and build these establishments? Of course, the money that they used are from the taxes that we pay that should be spent for public establishments and facilities for the advancement and better progress of our country. This is why I disagree with political dynasty. Each one of us is affected by the wrong doings of our government officials but then, we still vote for them because every election they keep on promising things that they really can’t do. Since this country doesn't allot good quality of life to its citizens, those who are in the position are terrified because …show more content…
The primary effect of political dynasties is graft and corruption due of their power and confidence to do it because they hold every position in a community so no one will allegate them of their bad doings. Bills and laws are passed to outlaw this matter but the problem is the officials who are going to passed these bills and laws are also liable for coming up with political dynasties here in the Philippines. A. Donato said, "Political dynasties are weakening our democratic form of government because these dynasties deprive independent candidates; who can be more capable and deserving; in equal opportunity of aiming for a position in the government (personal communication, October 28,

    One of the major flaws of Monarchy is that it is very easy to become corrupt in a system of dynasties. This was proven when the dynastic cycle came into play early in Chinese history.

    Competitive sports are bad not entirely bad for us (there good for a few)but bad, because they have done a lot of bad things especially for coaches who go to tournament. Reasons say that they make good decisions. They can hurt family relationship which means mothers and fathers will hate you if they make you play sports. Then kids will start to lose their interest of doing what every like spending time with friends.

Competitive are bad for us.…

    The rule of hereditary succession, “aristocracy of breeding”, works evil as well as good. When it has prevailed for a long time, a considerable number of hereditary dignities descend to persons quite unfit to exercise power or to make a good use of social influence. Moreover, the division of people into classes provokes envy and opposition.…

    The corrupt pratices of the spaniards continued during the american colonial era where political patronage became rule. Supporters and members of the political part in power were given plum positions in government even without the necessary qualifications. Thus in general, efficiency of public service went down. The Philippine National bank, for example during the period when Sergio Osmena Sr. was president of the Nacionalista party, issued loans to political supporters and padrinos without the proper collateral an the bank nearly went bankrupt.…

    In the TV program called "Political Animal", the famous BBC host Paxman pointed out that the first rule of political success is to choose the correct parents. It makes sense when looking at the fact that the most influential political families of U.S. are the Adams family, the Roosevelt family, the Kennedy family and the Bush family. Former President Clinton recently resigned and left the White House. His wife Hillary became the Senator. It is common that family takes control of business or political parties in some culture. This phenomenon not only exists in the U.S., but also existed in China for several thousands of years. This article will discuss the cause of nepotism, the most common type start to and how it affects China. Only when people address this issue will the society improve. Above all, even though China is relatively fair, it still suffers from nepotism.…

    There are laws that assured strict penalties for the violations of the provisions contained therein. Nevertheless, how is it that this illegal, unprofessional, and corrupt act such as the pabaun and pasalubong system still takes its toll? Where is the fairness in the legislated laws? Why is it that our laws are only prosecuting and grinding the poor ones of whom some are innocent and acquitting the rich notwithstanding the felonious offense they have deliberately committed which is a direct blasphemy of the authority of the law and the government promulgating the same? Ultimately, does the law countenance the custom they are following?…

    1. The Filipino people are considered as one of the most hospitable citizens in the world- polite, friendly and honest character- but it’s mind boggling and intriguing that whenever one is put into power (given high authority or position, for example in the government), that person becomes easily influenced and corrupted by the system transforming such person into a malevolent leader? Reflect on this thought, and explain briefly why this occurs.…

    Political dynasties are here to stay whether you like it or not, unless, of course, if YOU make a choice. Article II, Section 26 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution prohibits the existence of political dynasties but because majority of the lawmakers are either scions or kingpins of a political clan, no one has the guts to step up and perform a rare case of political suicide. Now, we are just left with two choices: stand up for democracy and let corrupt political dynasties wither on their own or be lost forever in a…

    At the moment, there are 178 dynasties ruling 73 of the 80 provinces in the Philippines. Now, that’s a lot. Who voted for these people? The answer: the same people who continue to complain about their wretched lives. Even a convicted plunderer can run again and again for public office. As long as he is popular, he and the rest of his family’s chances of winning are strong. It’s so pathetic.…
