Partido Federal ng Pilipinas was formed in early 2018 and was accredited by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) on October 5 that year.[5][6][7] PFP was formed by former Agrarian Reform Secretary John Castriciones,[4] including the Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte-National Executive Coordinating Committee (MRRD-NECC), a group that supported his 2016 presidential campaign, as well as former members of PDP-Laban, Duterte's party.[5] Former DILG undersecretary and MRRD-NECC member Jesus "Jayvee" Hinlo Jr. was the party's founding president. He was replaced by agrarian reform secretary John Castriciones when he decided to run for senator in the 2019 elections.[5][8] PFP also requested Duterte to be their chairman.[3]
Notable politicians who ran under PFP in 2019 include E. R. Ejercito, Reynaldo Umali, Joy Belmonte, and Donya Tesoro.[8][3][9] In that year's elections, 238 PFP members were elected to office, including six seats[a] in the House of Representatives.[7] Reynaldo Tamayo Jr., who was elected governor of South Cotabato, became the party's new president.[10]
In September 2021, the party unanimously nominated Bongbong Marcos as their presidential candidate for 2022.[6] Marcos joined the party on October 5 and became their chairman.[11] He filed his candidacy the following day.[12] Having no official vice presidential candidate, PFP adopted Duterte's daughter, Davao City mayor Sara Duterte of Lakas–CMD, as Marcos' running mate.[1] PFP, Lakas–CMD, Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP), and Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) then formed the UniTeam Alliance.[13]
Political positions[]
PFP wants the Philippines to become a federal state.[5]
The party's general counsel, George Briones, describes PFP as "a party of the common man.... of the poor.... of the grassroots", and the party's dream is "a society that is free of illegal drugs, free of corruption, free of crime, free of insurgency and free of poverty."[6][14] Party president Reynaldo Tamayo Jr. says the PFP's principles are: humanism, patriotic federalism, enlightened socialism and direct democracy. He also declared that PFP "values human dignity and will aspire for equality among all Filipinos." The party's slogan is "a life worthy of human dignity for every Filipino."[6]
The PFP-OFW International Affairs Committee presented a long-term plan for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) that includes skills training, benefits, Health, Foreign Affairs, finance, tax, retirement plans, health insurance, legally local workers, LGU, scholarship grants, and other support services.[14]
