The Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (KAMPI), formerly known as the Kabalikat ng Mamamayang Pilipino, was a political party in the Philippines. It is the main party of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. In June 2008, Kampi merged into the Lakas–CMD.

History

KAMPI was formed during the run up to the

Lakas-NUCD-UMDP

governors, and 650 out of the 1610 mayors all over the country. In the May 14, 2007 election, the party won 47 seats.[1]
