Coalition populaire nationaliste

The Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) is a significant political party in the Philippines, established in 1992 by businessman Eduardo "Danding" Cojuangco Jr. The formation of the NPC was a strategic move by Cojuangco, who sought to create a political vehicle for his presidential bid during the 1992 elections. Although initially centered around Cojuangco's political ambitions, the NPC has evolved over the years into a broader coalition, attracting a diverse group of politicians, including senators, members of the House of Representatives, governors, and local governmen…  t officials across the country.

The NPC positions itself as a party that champions the interests and welfare of the Filipino people, focusing on economic development, social equity, and national sovereignty. Its values and political stance have been shaped by the need to address the Philippines' complex social and economic challenges. The party advocates for policies that promote economic growth and sustainability, aiming to improve the quality of life for all Filipinos. This includes supporting initiatives that enhance the country's infrastructure, boost agricultural productivity, and foster a conducive environment for business and investment.

Social equity is another cornerstone of the NPC's platform. The party emphasizes the importance of providing all Filipinos with access to quality education, healthcare, and social services. It supports programs that aim to lift the most vulnerable segments of society out of poverty and ensure that economic growth benefits everyone, not just a select few.

On the national stage, the NPC promotes a foreign policy that safeguards Philippine sovereignty while fostering positive relationships with other nations. The party believes in a balanced approach to international relations, one that advances the country's interests and contributes to regional stability and global peace.

Throughout its history, the NPC has been known for its pragmatic approach to politics, often willing to form alliances with other political parties and groups to achieve its legislative and policy goals. This flexibility has allowed the NPC to remain a significant force in Philippine politics, adapting to the changing political landscape while staying committed to its core values of economic development, social equity, and national sovereignty.
