The Nacionalista Party is an organization brought to life with a vision of promoting love of country among Filipinos. The motto "Ang Bayan Higit sa Lahat" (The Nation Above All Else) has always been the fundamental and basic guiding principle of the party in its programs, advocacies and undertakings.

The party’s colorful history is made more historic by its past Party Presidents—Sergio Osmeña, Manuel L. Quezon, Jose Yulo, Eulogio ‘Amang’ Rodriguez, Sr., Gil J. Puyat, Jose B. Laurel, Jr., Salvador ‘Doy’ Laurel, who navigated through the colonial, neo-colonial, and independent stages of the country producing, in the process, six Philippine Presidents and a stellar cast of senators and congressmen.

Sen. Manny Villar, the party’s current president, continues with the party’s mission to unify Filipinos, now still against the oppressive clutches of poverty and inequality. For the past five years, Sen. Villar has been at the helm of NP, infusing new blood to the party, strengthening the involvement of the youth and encouraging party-mates to a more pro-active role.
