Kambilan

KAMBILAN was launched in September 24, 2012 in San Fernando, Pampanga, as a provincial political party organized by Governor Lilia Pineda. According to reporting by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the party was formed to consolidate the governor’s political allies under a single local umbrella ahead of the 2013 elections, particularly as she sought re-election alongside her son, Dennis Pineda, who was preparing to run for vice governor. KAMBILAN was previously involved in political efforts supporting Governor Pineda, including participation in a 2008 recall attempt against former Governor Eddie Panlilio, which ultimately did not succeed. Panlilio later lost his re-election bid to Pineda in 2010. == Influence and alliance ==

Since its inception, KAMBILAN has played a significant role in Pampanga's political landscape. The party has successfully fielded candidates for various local positions, including governorships, vice-governorships, and municipal offices. In 2018, KAMBILAN formed an alliance with Hugpong ng Pagbabago a regional party led by Sara Duterte-Carpio, enhancing its political reach and influence in Pampanga. In 2022 elections, KAMBILAN endorsed several candidates, including the re-election of Angeles City Mayor Carmelo "Pogi" Lazatin Jr., who secured 70.51% of the vote. The party's endorsement has been pivotal in the success of its candidates, demonstrating its substantial support base within the province. == References ==
