The original PDP (Partido Demokratiko Pilipino) was founded in 1982 by anti-Marcos elements led by opposition leader Nene Pimentel, father of Koko. By 1983, PDP had coalesced with Laban (Lakas ng Bayan), the party founded by Ninoy Aquino and Lorenzo Tañada in 1978.
Koko Pimentel had advised Cusi to form his own party instead of hijacking the PDP-Laban as the vehicle for the presidential bid of outsider Sara, who already has her own party, the Hugpong ng Pagbabago.
