History
Originally named the Partido ng Masang Pilipino, the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) emanated from an organization which was an offshoot of the Economic Recovery Action Program (ERAP) organized by Mr. George S. Antonio in May 1990. The ERAP organization was formally launched on October 4, 1990 with 21 original members.The organization grew exponentially with the recruitment of members nationwide. It was then that the PMP was accredited as a political party with the objective of helping to uplift the lives of the Filipino people, especially the poor and the disadvantaged, through effective and efficient social and economic reforms. Its first campaign headquarters was located at the 4th floor of San Buena Building, Edsa corner Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City.
In 1992, PMP took its first major political step by fielding then Senator Joseph Estrada

as its vice-presidential candidate together with other local candidates. Under PMP, Mr. Estrada overwhelmingly won against his four opponents.
The PMP also participated in the May 1995 election. In 1997, a permanent and fully operational headquarters was established at 409 Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City. By 1998, PMP was an active participant in the national elections with its 1992 bet, Vice-President Estrada, now gunning for the presidency of the republic. PMP played a lead role in the establishment of the opposition coalition LABAN NG MASANG PILIPINO (LAMMP), which also counted among its members the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino
Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino
The Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino is a political party in the Philippines founded in 1988.There are no results available of the last elections for the House of Representatives, but according to the website of the House, the party holds 7 out of 235 seats . The party is divided into two factions...
(LDP) and Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC). The coalition fielded full slates for the national and local levels. Card- bearing members reached as high as 3.2 million nationwide. In the end, close to 11-million Filipinos overwhelmingly voted JOSEPH ESTRADA into office as the 13th President of the Republic of the Philippines.
In 2001, PMP once again led the opposition coalition, with majority of its candidates elected into office, led by Dr. Luisa Ejercito Estrada who won a seat in the Senate.
Two years later, its original name was changed to PWERSA NG MASANG PILIPINO, retaining its initials but reflecting its intensified commitment to be an agent for meaningful growth and change for the benefit of that segment of society from which true social power emanates – the Filipino masses.
In April 2004, the PMP agreed to enter into a coalition with the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP) and Partido Demokratiko ng Pilipinas- Lakas Bayan (PDP LABAN) to form the Koalisyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino (KNP) and support the candidacy of FERNANDO POE, JR. for President of the Republic of the Philippines.
