Being a regional political party, HNP has a constituency that is spread over Region XI (Davao Region).

The party seeks a “peaceful and democratic way of life for its constituency, with its leaders establishing programs geared towards ensuring the establishment and maintenance of communities characterized by a strong region and secured life for all—where freedom is upheld, where men and women practice tolerance, where individual dignity and the rule of law are observed, and where community-building contributions of generations of indigenous pioneers and immigrants of the region are recognized.”

Hugpong is also pushing for alliance building with other political parties and persons who share the same beliefs, plans, vision and mission.

The alliance of these regional parties “will pave the way for a farther reach of the advocacies of both parties through the provision of mutual support.”

Aside from Go and Revilla, other Hugpong senatorial candidates include Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, Zajid “Dong” Mangudadatu, Francis Tolentino,Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito, Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada,Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara,Gov.
