Ang Kapatiran Party (AKP,lit. 'The Brotherhood Party'), also known as theAlliance for the Common Good,[1] is apolitical party in thePhilippines founded by Reynaldo "Nandy" Pacheco in 2004. The party participated in the2007 elections and was not affiliated with either major coalition.
On September 26, 2007, the AKP nominated new officers. Renato H. Peronilla, was appointed as the president, replacing Mario E. Ongkiko. Manolo K. Dayrit became chair and David S. Lim, vice chair. Benjamin P. de Guzman became the vice president, Eric B. Manalang, secretary general, Amador F. Astudillo and Rafael Q. Enriquez, deputy secretaries general, and Ricardo G. Librea the treasurer. Pacheco remained the founder and chairemeritus.[2]
The AKP's political and social ideology is based on "Traditional Papal" (Catholic) beliefs and is opposed to abortion, divorce, and religious intolerance.
The 2007Senate elections had three AKP candidates:
On October 1, 2008, the party launched its campaign for the2010 general election inIloilo City at the national convention of thePhilippines'Pontifical Council for the Laity. Party secretary-general Eric Manalang announced AKP would field 4,020 candidates, focused on 200 towns and cities with the largest percentage of young voters. AKP fielded 30 candidates in the2007 Philippine general election, but only John Carlos de los Reyes won asOlongapo Citycouncilor.[3][4]
On March 4, 2010, senatorial candidate Zosimo Paredes transferred to the Bangon Pilipinas Party of Bro.Eddie Villanueva.
The party began the campaign for the2016 Philippine General Elections on June 24, 2015.[5] On October 12, 2015, Rizalito "Lito" David who previously ran for senate in the party in 2010 and 2013, filed his Certificate of Candidacy as presidential candidate of the party, with Albert Alba as his running mate. Alba is a certified public accountant who previously worked forSycip Gorres Velayo & Company.[6] On October 15, 2015, the party's six senatorial candidates filed their Certificates of Candidacy.[7] In a press conference on October 26, the party officially announced that they would not endorse their candidates because the AKP planned to boycott the elections and advocate for change into the parliamentary system and to bring federalism in the country.[8] After David announced that candidates would instead run under the newly established Koalisyong Katoliko Kristiyano party as the AKP's successor, the party expelled David and Alba.[9] The electoral commission ruled David a nuisance candidate and disqualified him and Alba.[10]
Though initially announcing on September 25, 2021 thatAlex Lacson would be the party's standard bearer for the vice presidency,[11] Lacson withdrew his vice presidential candidacy in favor of Kiko Pangilinan and ran instead for senator.[12] He was then eventually included in theTeam Robredo-Pangilinan (TRoPa) senatorial slate.[13] Lacson eventually lost his second bid for the Senate, placing 25th of 64 candidates with 5,477,088 votes and 9.86% vote share based on 172 of 173 certificates of canvass.[14]
On the local level, Ang Kapatiran fielded candidates in Las Piñas, Batangas City, Batangas, and in Luisiana, Laguna. Among them, only Raya Fe Arca, who ran for Luisiana, Laguna councilor, won.[15]
