The Bagumbayan-Volunteers for a New Philippines (Bagumbayan-VNP) is a political party in the Philippines. It is the political party of former Philippine Senator Richard Gordon. Their slogan is "We are the Instruments of a Movement Dedicated to Transform the Philippines Into a Bagumbayan, A New Philippines."The looming withdrawal of the Americans from the U.S naval base in Subic Bay meant the loss of over 40,000 jobs for Filipinos who were employed in the said base. Also, $ 8 million worth of infrastructure left behind by the Americans in the base and was in danger of being looted from outsiders, as evidenced by the looting that occurred in 1991 at the Clark Air Base due to the aftermath of the Pinatubo eruption.
