The Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (KAMPI, formerly the Kabalikat ng Mamamayang Pilipino) is a political party in the Philippines. It is the mother party of the incumbent Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Kampi was formed during the run up to the 1998 presidential elections as the vehicle for then Senator Arroyo's presidential campaign, after she defected from the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino, the party she had been with since she was first elected in 1995. Vicente Sotto III was picked to be her running mate. Before the filing of candidacies, she decided to be the running mate of then Lakas-CMD presidential hopeful Jose de Venecia. As a result, Kampi went on hiatus.

There were no results available of the last elections for the House of Representatives, but according to the website of the House, the party holds 26 out of 235 seats (state of the parties, june 2005). The party was at the 2004 elections member of the Koalisyon ng Katapatan at Karanasan sa Kinabukasan (K-4, Coalition of Truth and Experience for Tomorrow), the coalition that supported president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who won the 2004 presidential elections. Many legislators of the Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats defected to Kampi.

Currently, KAMPI is actively recruiting members to bolster its chances to be the biggest party in the country jeopardizing its alliance with Lakas CMD because they are raiding local officials allied with Lakas CMD or they are fielding candidates against incumbent administration officials.

As of March 24, 2007 KAMPI is said to have 67 members of the House of Representatives, 23 provincial governors, and 650 out of the 1610 mayors all over the country. In the 14 May 2007 election, the party won 47 seats ^[1].

• Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo - Chairman Emeritus; 14th Philippine President
• Ronaldo Puno - Chairman
• Jose "Peping" Cojuangco - Vice Chairman
• Luis Villafuerte, Sr. - President

• Iggy Arroyo (Negros Ocidental Representative)

Since the issue over who will be the next Speaker of the House between Jose de Venecia (Lakas-CMD) and Pablo Garcia of (KAMPI) the party might split into two between those loyal to Luis Villafuerte, Sr. and DILG Secretary Ronaldo Puno. Since Puno pledged that members of KAMPI in the incoming 14th Congress will vote for De Venecia while Villafuerte pledged that members unde his wing will vote for Garcia instead of De Venecia.
