TheNacionalista Party(FilipinoandSpanish:Partido Nacionalista;lit. 'Nationalist Party') is the oldestpolitical partyin both thePhilippinesand inSoutheast Asiain general. It is responsible for leading the country throughout most of the 20th century since its founding in 1907; it was the ruling party from 1935 to 1946 (under PresidentsManuel L. QuezonandSergio Osmeña), 1953–1961 (under PresidentsRamon MagsaysayandCarlos P. Garcia) and 1965–1978 (under PresidentFerdinand Marcos).

Ideology[edit]

The Nacionalista Party was initially created as aFilipino nationalistparty that supportedPhilippine independenceuntil 1946 when theUnited Statesgranted independence to the country.[7][13][4]Since then, many scholarly articles that dealt with the history of political parties during theThird Republicagreed that the party has been increasinglypopulist,[2][3][4][14][15]although some argued they hadconservative[7][10]tendencies because of their opposition to theLiberal Partyand theProgressive Party.The populist ideology of the party remained to present day as described on their website.

History[edit]

American Insular to Commonwealth era[edit]

The party was organized as a vehicle for Philippine independence, advocating self-rule; and espousing this advocacy through representation in thePhilippine Assemblyof 1907–1916, and in the succeedingPhilippine Legislatureof 1916–1935. The ranks of Nationalist politicians rose to prominence through theCommonwealth of the Philippinesspanning 1935–1941, ending when political parties were replaced by a singular and monolithicKALIBAPIParty during theJapanese occupation of the Philippines.

Third Republic era to present[edit]

By the second half of the century, the Nacionalista Party evolved into being main political contenders for leadership in the Philippines, in competition with its rivals, theLiberal Partyand thePhilippine Progressive Party.This leadership endured until the turbulent suppression of partisan politics during theFerdinand Marcosregime. In 1978, akin to the Japanese occupation, disparate political parties were coerced to merge into a regime-controlled coalition, theKilusang Bagong Lipunan.Preferring not to be involved, theNacionalistaswent to hibernation. Years later, in the late 1980s, the party was revived under the leadership ofSalvador "Doy" Laureluntil the latter's passing.

In 1992, after the party nominated Doy Laurel, a pro-Danding Cojuangcofaction broke away and established theNationalist People's Coalition.

The Nacionalista Party is presently led by former SenatorManny Villar.In 2016, the party had fielded three vice-presidential candidates either running independently or in tandem with other political parties, namelyAlan Peter Cayetano,Bongbong MarcosandAntonio Trillanes,albeit unsuccessfully.[7]

Controversy over dominant-minority status[edit]

In the2010 general election,the Nacionalista and theNationalist People's Coalition(NPC) formed an alliance after it was approved by theCommission on Elections(COMELEC) on April 12, 2010.[16]The Nacionalistas fielded SenatorManuel Villarand running with fellow SenatorLoren Legardawho is a member of the NPC. It became the dominant minority party after a resolution passed by the COMELEC. On April 21, 2010, it was blocked by theSupreme Courtafter a suit filed by the rivalLiberal Party.[16]On May 6, 2010, the Supreme Court nullified the merger and therefore giving the Liberal Party to be the dominant minority party. It was based on a resolution by the COMELEC giving political parties to be accredited by August 17, 2009.[17]

The coalition was made to help the Nacionalista Party to help boost the presidential campaign of Senator Villar and have a chance to be the dominant minority party by the COMELEC which give the rights to poll watchers during the canvassing of votes.[18]However, it is being challenged by theLiberal Partycalls the said alliance a bogus alliance and they are seeking the same party status by the COMELEC.[16]Several local races are also being challenged from both parties, therefore causing confusion in those races.[18]
