Green Party of the Philippines

The Green Party of the Philippines is the official name of the political party of the newly established Philippine Greens and of the environmentalist movement in the country. The grassroots-raised party, still young, was formally established during the 1990s with the goal of promoting an environmentalist agenda in the country that would benefit all sectors of society. The party has currently no members occupying any official positions but intends to build a ticket for the next congressional election. The party is also inviting many independents in Congress and in other local government positions to boost their numbers with the goal of making an environmentally friendly state by 2016. The party is a member of the Global Greens, a network of all the Green parties around the world.

Officially, there is no Green Party of the Philippines registered with the Commission on Election. There are currently two "Green" parties in the Philippines, the Philippine Green Republican Party headed by Felix Cantal and the Partido Kalikasan ng Pilipinas (Phil. Green Party), founded on Dec. 6, 2003. It has members nationwide. One of its chapters, the Cagayan de Oro Chapter in Northern Mindanao participated 2004 local election as Partido Kalikasan.
