ThePartido para sa Demokratikong Reporma (PDR,lit. 'Party for Democratic Reforms'), commonly known asPartido Reporma, is apolitical party in thePhilippines.
It was founded by former Defense SecretaryRenato de Villa when he left the rulingLakas after failing to get the nomination as the party's presidential candidate in the1998 elections. He chose then Pangasinan governorOscar Orbos as his running mate.[1][2] TheLapiang Manggagawa (Workers' Party) forged an electoral alliance with Reporma for the 1998 elections, and the two parties contested in the elections as "Reporma–LM". However, De Villa and Orbos both lost toJoseph Estrada andGloria Macapagal Arroyo, respectively. The alliance also failed to win seats in the1998 Philippine Senate election.Haydee Yorac,Roy Señeres, andRey Langit were among the candidates who failed to win a single seat in the Senate.
In the2004 elections, Reporma supported the candidacy of former Senator and Education SecretaryRaul Roco fromAksyon Demokratiko, in which Reporma forged an electoral alliance with the forementioned party andPROMDI of Cebu under the name "Alyansa ng Pag-asa" (Alliance of Hope).
The party won one out of 235 seats in theHouse of Representatives of the Philippines in the2004 Philippine general election. The Lapiang Manggawa contested in the2010 elections on their own, while Reporma has faded from the political scene.
In 2020, former speakerPantaleon Alvarez resigned from the rulingPDP–Laban and accepted de Villa's offer of him becoming secretary-general of the revived Reporma.[3]
In the2022 elections, Reporma initially supported the candidacy of SenatorPanfilo Lacson, which initially installed him as the party's chairman, replacing Alvarez.[1][4] The parties of Partido Reporma,United Nationalist Alliance, andNationalist People's Coalition are in talks to forge an electoral alliance for the 2022 elections.[2][5] However, on March 24, 2022, Lacson decided to run as anindependent and resigned as a member and chairman of the party. Later that day, Alvarez, the party's president endorsed the candidacy of Vice PresidentLeni Robredo.[6] The following month, some members of Partido Reporma, including those fromAklan andAntique, expressed disappointment with Alvarez's decision as they continued rooting for the Lacson–Sotto tandem.[7] But even though, party founder de Villa still supported Lacson's campaign.[8]
On September 20, 2024,Partido Demokratiko Pilipino formally formed an alliance for the2025 elections with Partido para sa Demokratikong Reporma,Pederalismo ng Dugong Dakilang Samahan and the Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte-National Executive Coordinating Committee (MRRD-NECC).Greco Belgica andPantaleon Alvarez signed the agreement.[9]
