On average, a dynastic legislator has net wealth of about PhP 50 million this is 255 times larger than the annual mean family income in the country (PhP 195,000). Dynastic legislators hail from the poorest parts of the countrydistricts with dynastic legislators have 5 percentage points more poverty incidence.
