The People's Reform Party (PRP) is a political party in the Philippines. Founded on April 12, 1991, as the political party of former Agrarian Reform Secretary Miriam Defensor Santiago for her bid as president in the 1992 Presidential Elections. During the 1992 Elections, the party nominated Santiago as president and Ramon "Jun" Magsaysay, Jr. as vice president, however both Santiago and Magsaysay lost the elections to former Defense Secretary Fidel Ramos and then-Senator Joseph Estrada, respectively. The Force of Reform Philippines (FORPH) serves as the official youth-wing of the People's Reform Party. While under the same Miriam Defensor Santiago wing, the Youth Reform Movement is not related to the PRP.
On April 12, 1991, the party was founded by former Immigration Commissioner and Agrarian Reform Secretary Miriam Defensor Santiago. As Santiago being known for cleaning the immigration bureau against corruption, she is then being considered as preferred presidential candidate to win. In the party convention for the 1992 elections, she berated her opponents who throwing black propaganda (like of nicknaming her Brenda for brain damage due to her rants), and belittlement on her, with choosing former Congressman and Ramon Magsaysay's son Jun. Also, tandem of former NBI director Alfredo Lim and former Housing Agency administrator Lito Atienza joined PRP for their 1992 elections in Manila for its mayoral and vice mayoral positions.
Our task is to reform the culture of corruption. In this archipelago, the land of our birth, the cradle of our hopes and dreams, we find it intolerable and immoral that of 62 million Filipinos, 2/3 are living at the poverty line. We find it unacceptable that despite our great wealth in natural resources, despite our gifts in human resources, our country today bears the onus of a negative reputation as one of the most corrupt governments in Southeast Asia.
Her campaign was known for gathering the vote of the youth, with campaigning and speaking in the universities, with presenting herself as the reformist one. At first, she gathered at least 40% to 50% survey ratings, but in those times where the election day is near, she have a tight race with Lakas nominee and former Defense Secretary Fidel Ramos, who have been endorsed by then-incumbent President Corazon Aquino.
In the first days of counting votes, Santiago leading the race, with being the topnotcher in all cities and municipalities in Metro Manila. But after incident of power outages, Ramos lead the counting, and eventually won the elections. Santiago used that incident as an evidence for filing an electoral protest. Various media personnel became witnesses to the fraud made in the election, where the phrase, 'Miriam won in the election, but lost in the counting' became popular. However, her protest was eventually dismissed by the Supreme Court. But in local elections, Lim and Atienza secured their victory in Manila.
For the 1995 Senate elections, Santiago joined the opposition Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) led by then-Senate President Ernesto Maceda. Santiago snatched victory, placing 6th. In the local elections, Lim and Atienza together with some city council candidates who joined PRP won the elections in Manila.
In 1998 elections, Santiago launched her second run for presidency, with selection of Kit Tatad as her running-mate, but both of them lost to then-popular Vice President Joseph Estrada and Senator Gloria Arroyo.
