Ganap Party

Ganap Party

The Ganap Party was a Filipino political party that grew from the Sakdalista movement and were led by Benigno Ramos. The party, which was founded in 1939, was pro-Japan in outlook and saw an alliance with them as the road to independence. Indeed their propaganad was so rabildy pro-Japanese and anti-American that Ramos was imprisoned for a spell. [William J. Pomeroy, "The Philippines: Colonialism, Collaboration, and Resistance", p. 113] Despite this Ganap were allowed to organise and they were one of only three parties allowed to stand in the 1941 election when Manuel L. Quezon sought re-election.

Ganap collaborated with the Japanese during the occupation of the islands, although they were disestablished in 1942 when the occupiers decreed the creation of KALIBAPI into which they were absorbed. [Pomeroy, op cit] Many of the original party followers would go on to form the basis of the militia group Makapili, which the Japanese founded in November 1944. [Pomeroy, op cit, p. 114]
