Pambansang Partido Maharlika

Pambansang Partido Maharlika (translation: 'National Maharlika Party'), abbreviated as PPM, is a political party in AteneoCord founded by former members of the Tsukumizu Democratic Party in the 14th of August 2022. Since the party's founding, it has served in Government as the junior coalition partner of the People's Democratic Party-People's Power.
After the August 20 General Election, the party held 1 seat in the House of Commons of AteneoCord with the election of Lockheed Martin. PPM's seats were increased to 2 after the election of Phantom in the September 14 Special Election.Both seats were secured in the aftermath of the October 20 General Election.
==History==
Lockheed Martin was first elected as Member of Parliament on the June 30 General Electionrepresenting the left-wing, liberal and progressive Tsukumizu Democratic Party (TKDP) and was in the Governing coalition until mid-August. TKDP faced internal collapse due to ideological differences within the members and each major member wanting to pursue it's own personal interests and goals. The collapse started with the resignation of MP Star Fox from TKDP, switching to an Independent Congressman, followed suit by the resignation of House Majority Leader Robbie Rotten from both TKDP and as Member of Parliament. The final nail in the coffin was when the AMDG Party, the then Coalition partner of TKDP, defected to form a new Government Coalition with PDP-Laban. Lockheed Martin took advantage of this chaos, he resigned from TKDP, and formed PPM. PPM then immediately defected to the new PDP-AMDG Coalition.
PPM fielded two candidates for the August 20 General Election, which were Lockheed Martin and Datu Ophir. Lockheed was successfully re-elected for a Second term while Datu failed in his bid for Congress. In the September 14 Special Election, PPM decided to compete for the open seat. Phantom was nominated as their candidate and successfully defeated opposition contender Ka Filipino of HUKATLAM. In the October 20 General Election, both Lockheed Martin and Phantom successfully defended their seats, and PPM rose to become the 2nd most voted party.
PPM, since it's foundation has been a loyal Coalition Partner of PDP-Laban. Being closely affiliated in both Parliamentary work and in Election campaigning. 
==Policies==
PPM declares that the Filipino race is deemed the pinnacle of human racial hierarchy, and that Filipinos are superior to all other races. Foreigners, especially Spanish people is defined as being racially inferior and is thus considered to be a danger to the Filipino master race. This led to a discriminatory stance against non-Filipino members, advocating and creating Bills in Congress that would limit their rights in favor of benefits for the Filipino members.
