TheNationalist People's Coalition(NPC) is aconservativepolitical partyin thePhilippineswhich was founded in 1992 by presidential candidateDanding Cojuangco.

History

[edit]

The NPC was founded in 1992 after members of theNacionalista Party,led byRizalgovernor Isidro Rodriguez, left the party after disagreements with party leader and vice presidentSalvador Laurelbefore the1992 presidential elections.Members of civil society (including the business sector) who called themselves "Friends of Danding" invited tycoonEduardo "Danding" Cojuangco,a former associate ofFerdinand Marcos,[7]to run as president with SenatorJoseph Estradaas vice president. Cojuangco lost the presidential race, finishing third, and Estrada won the vice presidency in a landslide.[10]

The NPC was a member of theLaban ng Makabayang Masang Pilipino(LAMMP), the political vehicle of vice president Joseph Estrada in the1998 presidential elections.[11]It left the LAMMP after Estrada was removed from power in January 2001.[11]WhenGloria Macapagal Arroyoassumed the presidency, herPeople Power Coalition(led by theLakas–CMDparty) became the dominant group inCongress.[12]The 75-member Lakas party led the "Sunshine Coalition,"which included the 61-member NPC, members of theLiberal Party,and several other minor parties.[12]TheLaban ng Demokratikong Pilipino(LDP) party led the 20-member opposition bloc.[12]

In 2004, the LDP and NPC backed businessman Eduardo "Danding" Cojuangco as a potential presidential candidate in that year's elections.[11]Cojuangco, the NPC chair, withdrew from the campaign. Although the NPC had no seats in the Senate, the party had 53 seats in the House of Representatives after the election.[13]TheUnited States Department of Statesaid in its October 2006Background Note: Philippines,"Members of theCongresstend to have weak party loyalties and change party affiliation easily. There is no clear majority in theSenate,which changed its President in 2006. "[12][failed verification]
