Katipunan ng Demokratikong Pilipino (KDP) is a Philippine neonationalist political party founded in 2018. It was formed by supporters of incumbent President Rodrigo Duterte,[3] including some officers affiliated with the Citizen National Guard, a nationalist, anti-communist political advocacy group, including party chairman and former Department of Education undersecretary , President Ramon Pedrosa, Executive Vice President Princess Lady Ann Indanan-Sahidulla, and Dr. Ricardo Fulgencio IV.[4] The party had fielded former Lieutenant General Antonio Parlade Jr. in the upcoming 2022 presidential election.[5]
The KDP is unrelated to the similarly named Katipunan ng mga Demokratikong Pilipino (Union of Democratic Filipinos), a United States-based Marxist–Leninist–Maoist group who had opposed the Ferdinand Marcos regime during the 1970s and 1980s.[6][7] The said group had by the 1980s merged into the Oakland-based Marxist–Leninist–Maoist organization Line of March,[8] later evolving into the Christian Social-Democratic Movement (CSDM).
Political positions[]
KDP has been described as "ultra-right".[9] The Katipunan ng Demokratikong Pilipino's electoral agenda for the 2019 elections were to "stop electoral fraud" by cancelling Smartmatic's contract with the Commission on Elections and reforming the electoral system, to prosecute those involved in the Dengvaxia controversy, and to reduce electrical bills by repealing the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) of 2001.[10] Economic nationalism figures significantly in the party platform and covers shifting from a service economy to an agro-industrialized producer economy, food self-sufficiency and the integration of the Philippines into the Belt and Road Initiative.[1][11] In addition, the party advocates a nonaligned,[1] realist approach to foreign-policymaking,[2] as well as econationalism and federalism.[1]
