A recent Pulse Asia survey shows 64% of Filipinos support passing an anti-political dynasty law, up from 54% in December 2025. Support is highest in Luzon and Visayas but lowest in Mindanao. The House committee approved a version of the bill on March 3.
On March 13, 2026, Pulse Asia released results from a survey conducted February 27 to March 2, 2026, among 1,200 respondents with a ±2.8% error margin. Some 64% support the immediate passage of an anti-political dynasty law, up from 54% the previous month. Pulse Asia stated, 'Majority support for such a legislative measure cuts across levels of government and covers both simultaneous and consecutive holding of elective government positions.'
By region, support is highest in Balance Luzon (74%), Visayas (73%), and National Capital Region (69%), and lowest in Mindanao (32%), unchanged from 34% in December. By socioeconomic class, it stands at ABC (70%), D (66%), and E (36%). In Mindanao, 32% agree, 29% are undecided, and 39% disagree. For Class E, 36% agree and 41% disagree.
Of the 83% who favor or are undecided on the anti-dynasty law, 70% agree with banning relatives from holding elective positions in national and local governments simultaneously. Support for this ranges from 73% to 77% across areas and 65% to 85% by class, with 40% agreeing and 35% undecided in Mindanao. Nationally, 20% are ambivalent and 10% oppose. Additionally, 70% of this group support limiting family members seeking elective posts to two—one national and one local.
In the weeks before the survey, Congress held deliberations on the proposed law. On March 3, the House suffrage committee approved what is described as a 'weak' bill that relaxes the ban to the second degree of consanguinity, covering parents, siblings, spouse, and children.
