Parties going by the name of the "Federal Party" were political parties that advocated for the Philippines to become a U.S state after it became independent in 1946. These parties were the ideological successors of the Federalista Party (transl. Federalist Party) of the early 20th century, a party that originally advocated for the Philippines to be a U.S. state while under U.S. rule.
