Item Restricted Impact of dynasty and local resource mobilization capacity on the likelihood of reelection of provincial governors in the Philippines(2016-05) Mantes, Angela Camille M. ; Ramos, Pamela Lorraine S. ; Magno, Cielo D.The government plays a significant role on promoting the general welfare of its constituents that is why determining the factors affecting voting behavior is important. This study aims to determine the effects of political dynasties and local resource mobilization to the probability of re- election. Using a panel data of elected provincial governors during the 2007, 2010 and 2013 election years, results show that the dynastic indicator and the share of local sources in total income are both significant at the 5 percent level. Increasing the percentage of the local sources with respect to the total income will lead to a higher likelihood of re-election. Moreover, belonging to a political family increases the likelihood of re-election of provincial governors. With these, the study suggests a review of the provision of term limits, the necessity of the Anti-Dynasty Bill, the creation of a better definition of political dynasties for better implementation and efforts to strengthen the local resource mobilization capacity of local government units in the Local Government Code.
