The Koalisyon ng Katapatan at Karanasan sa Kinabukasan also known as K4 or K-4, (lit. 'Coalition of Trust and Experience for Tomorrow') was the political multi-party electoral alliance that supported president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's presidential campaign for a full term. Arroyo won 2004 Philippine presidential election. It is the remnant of the People Power Coalition (PPC) that was formed following the ascendancy of President Arroyo to power. She picked Senator Noli de Castro, an independent, yet popular, politician, as her running mate.
History
[edit]People Power Coalition fallout
[edit]In December 2003, People Power Coalition (PPC) was totally dissolved,[1] as Aksyon, Partido Reporma, and PROMDI left the PPC in November.[2]
Formation
[edit]By December 2003, administration's camp taking and negotiating with Aksyon and Liberal,[3] with only the latter joined the camp. Later, People's Reform Party led by former Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago joined. Former basketball superstar and incumbent Senator Robert Jaworski and former Defense Secretary Orly Mercado joined Lakas. Santiago and Jaworski are notable for voting against opening of evidence during the last days of the impeachment trial of then-President Joseph Estrada. Administration camp defended the inclusion of the opposition Senators, saying that even some opposition politicians joined with them for fighting a good governance.[4]
Biazon joined
[edit]In December 29, 2003, Rodolfo Biazon joined Liberal with his son.[5] The former joined Aksyon before joining Liberal.[6] Biazon notably left Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP)[7] due to party division between his Senate colleagues: party leader Edgardo Angara and aspiring party nominee Panfilo Lacson.[8]

Other parties under this coalition are the Liberal Party (Liberal), the Nationalist People's Coalition, the Nacionalista Party (Nacionalista), the Partido Demokratiko Sosyalista ng Pilipinas and the People's Reform Party (PRP), as well as the Kabalikat ng Mamamayang Pilipino (KAMPI).
