TheNational Unity Party (NUP;Filipino:Partido ng Pambansang Pagkakaisa) is a political party in thePhilippines. The party was formed in 2010 by former members ofLakas–Kampi who broke away after internal discontent within the party. From 2016 to 2022, the party was part of thePDP–Laban-led coalition in theHouse of Representatives, theCoalition for Change.[2][3]
The party was accredited by theCommission of Elections as a national party in a resolution dated October 5, 2011.[4]
On September 26, 2012, the party held its first national convention where they announced support forTeam PNoy for the2013 elections, however most NUP members ultimately supported theUnited Nationalist Alliance, especially Garcia.
After the merger ofKabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (KAMPI) founded by PresidentGloria Macapagal Arroyo and led byRonnie Puno andPabling Garcia into ruling partyLakas–CMD (Lakas) in mid-2008.[5] The merger's primary goal is to ensure the dominance and victory of all pro-Arroyo and her allies in2010 national elections, with 200 national and 8,000 local officials.[6][7][8] On September 30, 2009, the party merger was approved byCOMELEC.[9]
But, by 2009 the newly merged party was raided by opposition bets fromNacionalista andLiberal to strengthen their legislative force for the 2010 elections.[10]
In 2011, Garcia and Puno and their supporters broke away from Lakas to found the National Unity Party (NUP). NUP's initiative is to support Liberal PresidentBenigno Aquino III.[11][12][13]
In 2025 Speakership election, CongressmanDuke Frasco from Cebu was removed from the party due to non-signing of manifesto which affirms support for incumbent SpeakerMartin Romualdez.[14][15]
Months later, on September 10, 2025, CongressmanKiko Barzaga from Cavite left the party after he was supposedly accused by Deputy Speaker and party chairmanRonaldo Puno that he solicited signatures to remove House Speaker Martin Romualdez, a claim which Barzaga denied. He also left the majority bloc and being an assistant majority leader to join the minority.[16]
According to the party's constitution, NUP's principles include the following:belief in God;sovereignty of the state, national interest and democracy;social justice and responsibility; andenvironmental awareness.[17]
