Political career
Filip joined the Mursian Realpolitik Work-group at age 20, a professional think-tank for political discussions. Motivated by the members, he ran for office in 1993 as a member of the Naroden Noviyat Nachin in Heleovo as a vote-catcher. However, the failure of the NNN to properly campaign due to internal struggles, not enough votes could be mustered for Filip. The party would proceed to dissolve in late 1996, after which Filip would join the Frontov Obshtonaroden.

In 1997, as part of an electoral victory of the FO in the west of Mursland, Filip is elected to the parliament in Mopene by overshoot vote of fellow party members. In the 2001 elections, he is re-elected there again, but this time by popular vote. In 2005, he is elected in his home-province Heleovo, where he becomes head of the provincial government. After Veronika Papadopoulos' election failure of 2009, he is elected to become the party leader of FO.

In 2013, FO becomes the largest party and Filip is selected as Province-President. In a traditional display of dedication, he formally resigns as party leader as to fully focus on his new office. He is succeeded as party leader by his brother Emmanouil, who runs in Bonamech.

In the 2021 province elections, FO endured a severe loss, consequently resulting into Filip loosing his seat as Province-President. He was reinstated as party leader, while his brother became secretary of the party.
