PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte is not in favor of including an anti-political dynasty provision in a new constitution that will allow the country to shift to a federal system of government. Duterte, whose children are elected officials in his home city of Davao, said such a measure would restrict people’s choices. The anti-dynasty (law) is a restriction of the freedom of an individual,” Duterte said during the ruling PDP-Laban party’s Christmas benefit dinner for Marawi City held in Pasay City late Wednesday. Duterte’s daughter, Sara, is the Davao City mayor. The President was Davao City mayor for three decades before being elected President in May 2016.
