WHAT makes Ang Kapatiran different from the other political parties is that it has a platform with clear, specific policy objectives and all its national and local candidates are committed to support the Party’s platform. With a musical score under the title “common good,” its candidates will be like members of an orchestra playing harmoniously and producing a perfect symphony. Not a single discordant note shall be allowed.

The Politics of Virtue

Ang Kapatiran will introduce the “politics of virtue.” The cultivation of virtue makes individuals happy, wise, courageous, competent. The result is a good person, a responsible citizen and parent, a trusted leader. Without a virtuous people, society cannot function well. And without a virtuous society, individuals cannot realize their own or the common good. This is what the politics of virtue is all about.

The Politics of Duty

What has destroyed our political culture has been an over-insistence on rights at the expense of responsibilities. If everyone will do his/her duty there will be no occasion for anyone to claim one’s right. Ang Kapatiran will lead in reviving the idea that small sacrifices by individuals can create benefits for all. It is well to remember “that men individually are responsible for what they make of themselves but collectively they are responsible for the world in which they live.”

Ang Kapatiran believes that “the future will be different if we make the present different.” Clearly, Ang Kapatiran is a viable alternative.
