Hugpong sa Tawong Lungsod

[1] Hugpong was organized in late 2000 as a local political alliance in Davao City by then-first district congressman Rodrigo Duterte, who was making a comeback for mayor of Davao City after a three-year term in Congress.

[4] Hugpong was formally registered as a local political party in March 2011 with the Commission on Elections (COMELEC).

[5] During the 2019 elections, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte formed Hugpong ng Pagbabago, a regional political party.

However, Duterte later thought of leaving HNP to head Hugpong, stating that "it’s calmer" in the local party.

[6] In September 2021, several political figures allied with the Duterte family joined Hugpong for the 2022 elections, including news anchors Tek Ocampo and Tambi Sarenas.
