May pag-asang makalusot sa 17th Congress ang Anti-Political Dynasty bill, ayon kay Deputy Speaker at Batangas Rep. Raneo Abu.
“I am hopeful that it will be passed this Congress because what I heard last Congress was the disagreement focused on the limitations and parameters of the bill. If there will be a new guidance acceptable to majority, and given the number of the super majority, the bill can be passed,” ani Abu.
Ang nasabing panukala ay hindi nakalusot sa 16th Congress matapos itong harangan ng mga kongresista na galing sa pulitikong pamilya.
Samantala sa panig nina Quezon Rep. Feliciano Belmonte Jr. at Capiz Rep. Fredenil Castro, malabo pa rin umanong makalusot ang panukala.

“I’m one of those who filed an anti-dynasty bill but l think it’s more difficult to pass it now than in the l6th Congress,” ani Belmonte.
Naniniwala naman si Castro, chairman ng House Committee on Suffrage and Electoral Affairs, na ‘di pa rin makakalusot sa mga kongresista ang panukala.
“The bill has not been deliberated yet and, the President is silent about it. It is therefore premature at this point in time to make any assessment,” ani Castro. - Charissa M. Luci
