Partido Federal ng Pilipinas
Updated: 12/16/2025, 9:13:02 PM Wikipedia source
The Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP; English: Federal Party of the Philippines) is a national political party in the Philippines. It is chaired by Bongbong Marcos, president of the Philippines, who won in the 2022 election. During the run-up to the 2022 general election, the UniTeam alliance was formed by the PFP, Lakas–CMD, Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP), and Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP), with guest candidates from other parties. PFP was formed in 2018 by supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte and calls for federalism in the Philippines. This is the fourth time a party with the name "Federal Party" or "Federalist Party" was formed in the Philippines, with the party being originally founded by Spanish Filipino Trinidad Pardo de Tavera in 1900 but disbanded in 1907, and then for the second time by Alfredo Abcede from 1953 to 1961, and then for the third time by Bartolome Cabangbang from 1981 to 1986. The first and third iterations stood for the Philippines becoming a state of the United States.
