• There are five main political ideologies. However,

according to the study of Buendia (10), in the
Philippines only three political ideologies were
evident: Liberalism, Conservatism, and Socialism.
It is a fundamental insight that more than one
solution is available for any given societal
problem.
• 1. Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview
founded on ideas of liberty and equality. Whereas classical
liberalism emphasizes the role of liberty, social liberalism
stresses the importance of equality. Liberals espouse a
wide array of views depending on their understanding of
these principles, but generally they support ideas and
programmes such as freedom of speech, freedom of the
press, freedom of religion, free markets, civil rights,
democratic societies, secular governments, gender
equality, and international cooperation
• 2. Conservatism as a political and social
philosophy promotes retaining traditional
social institutions in the context of culture and
civilization. Some conservatives seek to
preserve things as they are, emphasizing
stability and continuity, while others, called
reactionaries, oppose modernism and seek a
return to "the way things were".
• 3. Socialism is a range of economic and social systems
characterized by social ownership of the means of production
and workers' self-management. Social ownership can be
public, collective or cooperative ownership, or citizen
ownership of equity. Socialism is an economic system where
everyone in society equally owns the factors of production.
The ownership is acquired through a democratically elected
government. It could also be a cooperative or a public
corporation where everyone owns shares. The four factors of
production are labor, entrepreneurship, capital goods, and
natural resources.
