Makabayan
Makabayang Koalisyon ng Mamamayan (lit. 'Patriotic Coalition of the People') or simply Makabayan is a national democratic political party in the Philippines. It is also a coalition of three party-list organizations in the House of Representatives, namely Kabataan, Gabriela, and ACT Teachers. It was founded on April 16, 2009 at the Bahay ng mga Alumni in UP Diliman, Quezon City.
As of 2024, four party-lists are fielding candidates under the Makabayan bloc:
The following partylists have also ran under the bloc:
In 2016, the Commission on Elections disqualified the Akap Bata and Katribu partylists for failure to acquire the necessary votes.
In 2024, COMELEC delisted and canceled the registration of Anakpawis ahead of the 2025 Philippine general election for "failing to obtain at least two (20) percent of votes cast for the party-list system and failed to obtain a seat in the last two (2) preceding elections."
The Makabayang Koalisyon ng Mamamayan (or Makabayan) was formally founded on April 16, 2009 as an alliance between Bayan Muna, Anakpawis, and other progressive party-list groups. Then-Deputy Minority Leader and Bayan Muna representative Satur Ocampo stated that the goal of the alliance was to advance the "politics of change" and a "pro-poor" agenda in the upcoming 2010 elections, and that it was open to working with local political leaders that stood against the traditional political system.
Makabayan fielded its first senatorial candidates in 2010 through former Bayan Muna representative Satur Ocampo and former Gabriela representative Liza Maza. Both candidates ran under the slate of presidential candidate and billionaire Manny Villar. Although the senatorial slate of Villar included Bongbong Marcos, Maza and Ocampo stated that they would not be supporting Marcos's senatorial bid, due to his stance on martial law under his father's rule. Despite this, both of their candidates raising hands with him during an election photo-ops.
Maza and Ocampo were both defeated in the 2010 senatorial elections, placing 25th and 26th. However, the Makabayan bloc won a total of seven seats in the party-list elections, with the addition of a new party-list under the coalition, ACT Teachers. With the opening of the 15th Congress, the Makabayan bloc initially sided with the majority bloc in Congress.
