Nominally democratic socialist and social democratic,[6] the party has shifted considerably since its first time in power in the 1980s and 1990s under Aquino. Since the election of Rodrigo Duterte, PDP-Laban is generally seen to have strayed from its initial social democratic objectives and shifted towards the right.
