Former Bayan Muna Representative and now senatorial candidate Teodoro Casino is wary of the prospect of Vice President Sara Duterte getting elected as President in the 2028 elections.&quot;Una, magdadasal tayo. Ayokong isipin,&quot; Casino said as he accused Duterte of misusing confidential funds from the time she was Davao City mayor all the way to the vice presidency. &quot;Alam mo yung confidential funds, ano yan &#x27;eh, gatasan yan ng mga executive officials. At yung si Sara Duterte, panahon pa rin niya sa Davao, nakita na natin kung gaano siya sa kasugapa sa confidential funds. Sa lahat ng mga local governments, ang Davao City ang may pinakamalaking confidential funds. At dahil nasanay siya diyan, pagdating niya sa DepEd as Secretary, ganun din ang gusto niya at as Vice President. At nakita natin dito sa investigation ng House na talagang mali ang paggamit ni Sara Duterte to the point na it has become an impeachable offense at dapat siyang managot dyan,&quot; Casino said. He meantime believes the breakdown of Duterte&#x27;s alliance with President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., once hailed as the Uniteam, was &quot;meant to be.&quot;&quot;Alam mo, yung dalawang political dynasty, hindi talaga magsasama yan. Dahil ang kanilang uunahin ay sarili nilang interest. At yan mismo ang nakita natin dito sa breakup ng Uniteam,&quot; Casino said. &quot;Kunwa-kunwari lang naman yung Uniteam. United sila sa kanilang interest. Pero syempre, nung magkaiba na yung interest, wala nang Uniteam. Ganyan naman ang mga politiko.&quot;If elected to the Senate, Casino said he will work on legislating the ban on political dynasties to ensure lasting political and economic reform. He believes dynasties have been the obstacle to much needed reforms.&quot;&#x27;Yung politika sa Pilipinas, kontrolado ng mga political dynasties, ng mga corrupt na opisyal, corrupt dahil sila ay kinakasangkapan lang ng mga malalaking negosyo, ng mga dayuhong korporasyon, ng mga hasendero, yung mga vested interest. At hangga&#x27;t hindi nababago yan, hangga&#x27;t di natin nababago ang klase ng politika meron tayo, forget about wage increase, forget about all these reforms. Kaya para sa akin, yung political dynasty, ang isang susing legislation that we have to push,&quot; said Casino.The former congressman said there is a reason other legislators do not prioritize the dismantling of political dynasties.&quot;Kasi ang lahat ng mga senador... umaasa sila sa mga political dynasty sa makinarya nila sa baba. Pero tayo di naman tayo umaasa sa kanila so we can tapat na magsasabi na talagang yan ang uunahin,&quot; said Casino. He will also encourage that the proposal should be pursued via &quot;people&#x27;s movement.&quot;&quot;Nasa Constitution naman yan eh. Kailangan lang talaga yung mamamayan mismo ang kumilos. Kasi kung hahayaan mo ang Kongreso-Senado, wala mangyayari,&quot; Casino explained. &quot;It&#x27;s a revolutionary reform. Pero kailangan yan eh. In fact, nasa Constitution nga natin yan eh. So, at yan, pag yan ang nangyari, pag nakuha natin yan, I think, mas gaganda ang laban sa usapin ng sahod, sa usapin ng budget, sa usapin ng reforms na hinihingi ng ating mamamayan.&quot; <div> </div><div><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/63k_eA7QynY?&amp;ab_channel=ABS-CBNNews&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> </div>
