    List of Political Parties in the Philippines

    Below is the evolution of the Philippine political parties.

    The Philippines has a multi-party system with numerous political parties, in which no
    one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with
    each other to form coalition governments for political expediency and convenience.
    Since no political parties have sustaining membership to which party leaders are
    developed, most of the political parties have the rise-and-fall-and-rise character.
    There are three types of parties in the Philippines and these are: major parties, who
    correspond typically to traditional political parties, minor parties or party-list
    organizations, who rely on the party-list system to win Congressional seats and
    regional or provincial parties, who corresponds to a region-wide or province-wide
    organization, respectively.
