It would be a feather on the cap of President Marcos if an anti-political dynasty bill gets enacted before the end of his administration.

Thus, said Bukidnon 2nd district Rep. Jonathan Keith Flores, one of lawmakers in the 20th Congress who are pursuing the long-sought measure.

In a recent interview, Flores, a member of the House Young Guns bloc, pointed out like many before him that the 1987 Constitution has an anti-political dynasty provision.

''Well the constitution says that there should be an anti-dynastic bill but only that wala pang actual bill (there has yet to be an actual bill) that has already been filed and passed,'' said the lawyer-legislator.

''It would be to the credit of any administration if finally mangawa natin tong batas ang anti-dynastic bill (if finally we can make a law out of this anti-dynastic bill),'' Flores added.

The issue on political dynasties strikes at the heart of the local political scene, where political clans are commonplace. With the 20th Congress about to convene in three weeks, some solons are again attempting to put teeth into the this constitutional provision.

The 20th Congress covers the final three years of President Marcos' six-year term in Malacañang.
