The Kabalikat ng Bayan Sa Kaunlaran (KABAKA) is a local Manila-based political organization.

History

[edit]

In 2001, KABAKA was the political party of Amado Bagatsing when he ran for the Mayorship of Manila. KABAKA was affiliated with the People Power Coalition (PPC), as Bagatsing was chosen by the Arroyo administration over Lakas Manila leader Mel Lopez.[1] Bagatsing ran with incumbent Vice Mayor Danny Lacuna as his running mate. Bagasting lost to incumbent Lito Atienza and Lacuna managed to win.[2]

In 2007, the party supported his former mayoral opponent's son Ali, but lost to Alfredo Lim. Bagatsing returned to congress in 2007.[3] In 2010, they supported his former opponent. In 2013, they supported former president Joseph Estrada.[4]

In 2016, Bagatsing tried again to run for mayor, with Ali Atienza as running mate, but both lost to Estrada and daughter of Bagatsing's former running mate Honey Lacuna.[5][6] At the same year, Cristal Bagatsing, his daughter ran to replace Bagatsing's place and won.[7][8]

In 2019, Bagatsing was chosen by Estrada as his running mate (vice mayor) for seeking third term, but lost again to former Vice Mayor Isko Moreno and incumbent one Lacuna.[9][10][11][12]

The Commission on Elections declared KABAKA as the dominant local party in Metro Manila for the 2022 election.[13] In 2022, Bagatsing ran again for Mayor, this time without a running mate, and defeated by Lacuna.[14][15] Cristal Bagatsing lost her bid for a third term after defeated by Irwin Tieng.[16][17]

For the 2025, Amado Bagatsing will run as congressman under Isko Moreno and Chi Atienza's slate. The party also supported the tandem.[18]
