(Redirected from People’s Reform Party)
This article is about the Philippine political party. Not to be confused with People Reform Party or Reform Party (Philippines).

The People's Reform Party (abbrev. PRP) is a political party in the Philippines. Founded on April 12, 1991, as the political party of former Agrarian Reform Secretary Miriam Defensor Santiago for her bid as president in the 1992 Presidential Elections. During the 1992 Elections, the party nominated Santiago as president and Ramon "Jun" Magsaysay, Jr. as vice president, however both Santiago and Magsaysay lost the elections to former Defense Secretary Fidel Ramos and then-Senator Joseph Estrada, respectively. The Force of Reform Philippines (FORPH) serves as the official youth-wing of the People's Reform Party. While under the same Miriam Defensor Santiago wing, the Youth Reform Movement is not related to the PRP.

2019 General Election

edit

Miriam Defensor Santiago died September 29, 2016, at St. Luke's Medical Center in Taguig from lung cancer. Though the party exists for the political career of Mrs. Santiago, it agreed through Santiago's widow, Narciso Jr. to nominate Harry Roque as candidate for the Philippine Senate. Roque's nomination was arranged through the auspices of Davao City mayor Sara Duterte, daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte.[4] The nomination of Roque sparked wide criticism, garnering massive backlash notably from stern supporters of the late senator and PRP founder Miriam Defensor Santiago. Various organizations called Roque a 'user' and was 'destroying the image' of PRP and the late Miriam Santiago.[5] Additionally, Roque's already low public appeal degraded further from 8.7% in March 2018 into 8% in October 2018.[6]

The following run under the banner of People's Reform Party in the 2019 election:

  • Congressional Election
  1. Maricel Natividad-Nagaño - Fourth District, Nueva Ecija (won)

The People's Reform Party, now under Narciso Jr., announced support for Sara Duterte's potential presidential run and renewed their ties with the Hugpong ng Pagbabago alliance.[7]
