The group has been active in giving seminars, and educational training to non-poor, urban poor leaders and sectors through the years. The group has been established since the recognition of the 1987 Philippine Constitution during the time of the late Rey Teves urging the people to shift and have charter change. The group is not directly under and mandated by any government office but a private institution that dreams of a federal Philippines.

Lihuk Pederal has been actively engaging the people in every Saturday discussions about federalism and how to apply the system change in the constitution. They came up with a proposal on how to put up federalism in the Philippines.
