| Description | A merger of the Laban wing of the PDP-Laban and the Lakas ng Bansa, a party of pro-Aquino politicians. From its founding in 1988 to 1992, during the Aquino administration, it was the de facto ruling party. Although President Aquino was not a member, her relatives led by brother Congressman Jose Cojuangco were the main leaders. Since 1992, it has steadily lost members to the Lakas. In the 1995 senatorial elections, LDP agreed to have a common slate with Lakas. For the 1998 election, it formed a coalition with PMP and NPC, the Laban nang Makabayang Masang Pilipino [LAMMP, Struggle of Nationalist Filipino Masses]. Its main leader in 1998 is Senator Edgardo Angara who ran as a vice presidential candidate with LAMMP candidate Joseph Estrada. |
