I have been having trouble finding actual political positions. Most articles talk about his controversies that tell you nothing about his political leanings.

He is running under the banner of the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (English: Federal Party of the Philippines

PFP seeks to replace the Philippines’ unitary system of government with a federal one.

The party’s general counsel, George Briones, describes PFP as “a party of the common man.... of the poor.... of the grassroots”, and the party’s dream is “a society that is free of illegal drugs, free of corruption, free of crime, free of insurgency and free of poverty.”[8][27] Party president Reynaldo Tamayo Jr. says the PFP’s principles are: humanism, patriotic federalism, enlightened socialism and direct democracy. He also declared that PFP “values human dignity and will aspire for equality among all Filipinos.” The party’s slogan is “a life worthy of human dignity for every Filipino.”

The PFP-OFW International Affairs Committee presented a long-term plan for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) that includes skills training, benefits, retirement plans, health insurance, scholarship grants, and other support services.
