On PDP-Laban's "Left-wing" identification

Does PDP-Laban still actively identify itself as a left-wing organization? The descriptor seems extremely dissonant from its current actions in Philippine Politics. Or is this more because of its coalition membership? W34VER2020 (talk) 07:36, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Might as well replace that with "Big tent". Howard the Duck (talk) 21:45, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it seems incredibly disconnected to the stance of modern PDP-Laban, apparently the original PDP did have Christian Democratic Socialism as it's ideology, but it seems more right wing than anything CSkyes (talk) 09:34, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support removal of "left-wing" general appellation in favor of "Big Tent", at least in the Infobox, due to its recent support of red-baiting stances, despite its new, Duterte-era pro-China stand. In light of this red-baiting tolerance, the "Populist" appellation could even be promoted to "Right-wing populist". Bagoto (talk) 03:29, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't the position of homosexuals improve in his government and in his party? Didn't he incorporate Muslims into it (being the "syncretist")? Being anti-communist does not automatically make you a right-winger. 186.32.216.229 (talk) 18:00, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Name of this article

In 2024, Lowkeypedia moved this article from PDP–Laban to the current article as the party renamed itself. That seems to be a good idea at the time, and some people were upset they dropped Ninoy Aquino's "Lakas ng Bayan". In the 2025 elections though, the party kept on using the "PDP–Laban" name, and even the WP:RS also kept using that name. What's the best course of action here? Rename back to "PDP–Laban"?
