Partido Pilipino sa Pagbabago (lit. 'Filipino Party for Change', PPP), is a political party in the Philippines founded by Leonardo Fernandez, to urge then-Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte to run for president in 2022 elections.[1]
In September 2021, PPP was established by Leonardo Fernandez, a businessman and political strategist for the potential presidential run of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte in 2022 elections, if she decided to run. His party co-founders and officers are: Edgar B. Diares, a social development worker as secretary general; Emmanuel C. Roldan, a journalist as director of party institute; former Presidential Commission on the Urban Poor commissioner Romeo L. Lagahit as head of the national committee on education; and, former Laac, Davao de Oro councilor and administrator Nestor Abellanida as national treasurer. By February 2022, it aims to be a national party accredited by COMELEC.[2] They also set Sara Duterte as their standard bearer.[3]
On October 1, 2021, former Cebu 5th district Congressman Ace Durano joined the party. He was intended to match incumbent Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia. Durano selected Hilario Davide III as his running mate.[4] Durano also became the PPP's regional president for Central Visayas.[5][6][7]
Also, former Taguig–Pateros's 1st district Congressman Arnel Cerafica ran for Mayor of Taguig under PPP in 2022 elections to challenge the Cayetanos, with some of his slate members joined PPP.[8][9]
But after Sara Duterte declined, PPP did not endorse any candidate for president.[10] But later, with the help of Durano, some PPP members endorsed Duterte's running mate Bongbong Marcos, who went on to win the presidency with Duterte as the vice president.[11]
