a felony can ran for a position in the government since we, as stated in the 1987 constitution of the Philippines, Article 11, Section 1 " Public office is a public trust. Public officers and employees must, at all times, be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost responsibility, integrity, loyalty, and efficiency; act with patriotism and justice, and lead modest lives." kung alam ng masa na makakabuti sya sa bansa, syempre iboboto sya at lahat naman ng tao ay nag babago and pwede naman maalis sa pwesto ang isang public servant kung may ginawa syang mali as stated in Article 11,Section 2. "The President, the Vice-President, the Members of the Supreme Court, the Members of the Constitutional Commissions, and the Ombudsman may be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, culpable violation of the Constitution, treason, bribery, graft and corruption, other high crimes, or betrayal of public trust. All other public officers and employees may be removed from office as provided by law, but not by impeachment." and is supported by Article III, Section 1. 'No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor shall any person be denied the equal protection of the laws' na pantay-pantay ang tingin ng batas sa tao hihi try ko lang xD
