New Political Party Invites All Conscientious Filipinos to Join

“...they say if you don't vote, you get the government you deserve, and if you do, you never get the results you expected.”

[æRLO]

so the party is newly-founded, and it has already compromised its fundamental ideal of being "anti-political dynasty" by aligning with known figures of political dynasties. I'm sorry but I don't see any strength in the CDP's resolve. That fact alone, weakens it.

And what makes this party a "centrist" one? Care to share the party's other platforms?

I want to live in a country where the law only applies to poor people, where being a politician entitles you to steal, even kill at whim. Where social and economic progress takes a backseat to personal gain and where public servants get paid to procrastinate indefinitely. A land of phoney pride and broken promises. Just give me more shopping malls and I'll be happy..... I am the apathetic voter, you can count on me.

Thank you for asking. Centrist Democracy used to be known as, and is still known in some countries, as Christian Democracy. Christian Democracy’s founding belief is the Christian view of humanity where every individual is considered unique and must be treated with dignity. Although much of our political philosophy can be traced to the social teachings of the Catholic church (as opposed to the religious teachings) people of many faiths (including Islam) have become Christian Democrats so it was deemed appropriate to change the name to Centrist Democracy, which is where we stand in the political spectrum. We are neither leftists nor authoritarian rightists but stand firmly in the center. To put it in one sentence, we believe in the rights and freedoms of the individual, but also believe these rights and freedoms must be tempered with the rule of law.

Here is a good resource on Christian Democracy:

and here is our political platform:

I should point out that we are also an environmentally friendly party. We will push for the adoption of new technologies that will reduce or eliminate pollution, the rehabilitation of mined environments, and ensure that even foreign corporations follow our environmental laws strictly.

And what makes this party a "centrist" one? Care to share the party's other platforms?

I believe that a governance with each principles should be applicable
and accepted to those who are to be governed. It should not try to unite
in terms of one denomination of belief.
Neutrality in this field should be considered, for if not, then possibilities
would arise for it would be eventual that the applied rules tainted with
a belief would never be applicable to those who are not a part of the
followers.
If enforced then it would not be democratic after all, for the people has
been deprived as the absolute.

Bro, we are working for the establishment of a social market economy, which means encouraging/developing the free market, making it easy for smaller players to compete, and reminding the successful players of their social responsibility to the less fortunate ones, a species of welfarism. Unfortunately the term "welfare state" has taken on a negative connotation for some. In a social market economy, we don't identify with the term "welfare state" because the welfare provided should be designed so as not to encourage people to stop working, but to encourage them to compete in the free market instead.

i would like to join this party if it advocates individual freedom and free market above socialism, welfarism, and statism... Unfortunately, this party's political platform clearly shows that is just the same statist approach in dealing with the lives of the people. Besides, anything that advocates democracy, advocates socialism... and socialism is communism's younger brother.

as the idea is great. but to prove it working, the project needs to be working for atleast 30-50years.. well, good luck with that as people here cant even wait for change. As every one who'll be sitting in malacanang has the highest tendency to stop previous admin projects... ThaTS a Fact.

Tell me the plan can be done overnight and you just lost me there big time.
