Metro Manila (February 27, CNN Philippines) — House Deputy Speaker Pia Cayetano said she is open to banning political dynasties, but added she is more interested in seeing corrupt people land in jail.

Cayetano told CNN Philippines' The Source that she will not stand in the way of the enactment of an anti-dynasty law if majority of Filipinos would support it.

"If the majority of Filipinos decide that there should be a clear cut law ... of course we will comply," she said Wednesday.

But she also said that people should judge politicians by their character and the kind of service they can deliver.

"All over the world, makakita tayo ng mga [we can see] members of whether its parliament or local government, with the same family name, related to each other," she said.

Cayetano is running for senator in the May 2019 polls. Her brother, former Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano, and his wife, Lani Cayetano, are both running for two different districts of Taguig City. Another brother, Lino Cayetano, is running for mayor of Taguig.

Alan and Lani are facing a disqualification case filed by Taguig resident Leonides Buac Jr. before the Commission on Elections. Buac slammed the Cayetano family's attempt to build a "super dynasty."

A 2016 Pulse Asia survey found that 34 percent of Filipinos would vote for members of political dynasties, while 32 percent said they would not.

Ateneo School of Government Dean Ronald Mendoza previously said in a Senate hearing that the poorest provinces are often led by "fat dynasties" or families with two or more members in politics.
