Based on a report on Inquirer, ACT-CIS Rep. Erwin Tulfo claimed that he will support the bill against political dynasty. According to him, someone already filed the said bill so it would be a duplicate if he will also file a similar bill. Meanwhile, he is willing to be a co-author.
“I will be supporting [it]. Someone already planned to file it. It will only be repetitive if I lodge a similar measure. If need be, I will co-author,” Tulfo said.
Based on the report, ACT-CIS Rep. Erwin Tulfo also said he would resign if the anti-political dynasty bill is passed into law. Furthermore, he vowed to convince his relatives to step down from their positions once political dynasty is prohibited by law.
“If passed, I will resign,” he said.
Previously, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte who also comes from a political dynasty said she would also support an anti-political dynasty law.
