Several citizens, unhappy with the proliferation of families dominating the political landscape, decided to take matters into their own hands. They proposed to come up with a people's initiative defining political dynasties. They started a signature campaign for the purpose of coming up with a petition for that purpose. Some others expressed misgivings about a people's initiative for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution, however. They cited the Court's decision in Santiago v. Commission on Elections (G.R. No. 127325, 19 Mar. 1997), as authority for their position that there is yet no enabling law for such purpose. On the other hand, there are also those who claim that the individual votes of the justices in Lambino v. COMELEC (G.R. No. 174153, 25 Oct. 2006), mean that Santiago's pronouncement has effectively been abandoned. If you were consulted by those behind the new attempt at a people's initiative, how would you advise them? (2014 BAR)
