ADVOCACIES
FEDERALISTA, inspired by the First Philippine Political Party established in 1901 by Pedro Paterno with Trinidad Pardo de Tavera as the 1st Party President primarily to make the Philippines the 51st State of the United States of America. It was revived by Elmer Francisco not as a Political Party but as a Political Action Committee under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm of 1111 Empire, Inc. not to merely relive the former primary purpose of the party but to promote a Federal structure and a Parliamentary system of government in the Philippines in order to have a more efficient and a more progressive nation in terms of Political, Social and Economic development. Federalism has many features that we could leverage from in order to make the poorest of the poor actually feel the progress that we are promising and the already prosperous could reach greater heights.
