• The Filipino New Society Movement, known in the Philippines as Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL), is a political party that was established during the martial law era under President Ferdinand Marcos in 1978. The party was created to support the government's efforts to create a "New Society" in the Philippines, which was Marcos' vision of a reformed and revitalized nation, free from the social unrest, corruption, and economic downturn that plagued the country during the previous decades.
  
  The values and goals of the New Society Movement were centered around the idea of creating a disciplined, orderly, and progressive society. Marcos and the KBL promoted the importance of strong leadership, nationalistic pride, and the need for social and economic reform to achieve national development. The movement advocated for a shift away from the old political and social systems that were seen as ineffective and corrupt, proposing instead a new way of governance that emphasized authoritarian control to ensure stability and growth.
  
  Economic development, through infrastructure projects and foreign investment, was a key priority for the KBL, alongside the promotion of Filipino culture and values as a foundation for national identity. The party also stressed the importance of peace and order as essential components of the New Society, which often justified the imposition of martial law and the suppression of political dissent.
  
  However, the legacy of the New Society Movement and the Marcos regime is highly controversial. While some achievements in infrastructure and development were made, the period was also marked by human rights abuses, suppression of free speech, and widespread corruption. After the fall of Marcos in 1986, the KBL's influence waned significantly, but it has remained active in Philippine politics, often aligning with the interests of the Marcos family and their political allies.
  
  Today, the KBL continues to advocate for national unity, economic development, and the preservation of Filipino cultural values, but its association with the martial law era and the Marcos regime's legacy of authoritarian rule and human rights violations has remained a contentious aspect of its identity and influence in Philippine politics.
