Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas
The Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) (Filipino, lit. Peasant Movement of the Philippines) is the national militant and democratic organization of peasants in the Philippines. KMP is composed of over 2,000,000 members spread throughout its 15 regional chapters and 65 provincial chapters. Members of KMP includes farmers, farm workers, agricultural workers, peasant women and peasant youth.
History
[edit]KMP was founded on July 27, 1985 at the Plaza Miranda, Quiapo, Manila. It was established during the reign of the fascist dictator Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines to further advance the militant peasant movement in the Philippines.
Beforehand, several of its regional, provincial and local chapters had already existed and helped established the national organization. Other progressive organizations also helped its founding.
At present, the KMP is in its 13th congress. KMP is currently chaired by Hon. Rafael Mariano, former representative of the Anakpawis Partylist (lit. Toiling Masses) during the 13th, 14th and 15th Congress of the Philippines.
Vision, Mission and Goals
[edit]As a militant genuine peasant movement, the KMP struggles for the following:

- A sovereign nation free from foreign domination and control, and defends the people's civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights;
- A comprehensive and pro-people social program that provides basic social and public services;
- A genuine aquatic reform program that upholds the rights of small fisherfolk;
- Promotion of peasant women rights and welfare that eradicates all forms of discrimination, exploitation and oppression against women and children;
