Aguman ding Maldang Talapagobra


The Aguman ding Maldang Talapagobra was a trade union in Pampanga, Philippines organized by Pedro Abad Santos in 1933. It was influenced by European socialism and anarchism, functioned as a mutual aid association and participated in electoral politics.
The AMT was supported by the Partido Sosyalista ng Pilipinas, a socialist party established by Abad Santos when the Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas was outlawed in 1932. The AMT employed strike actions and mass demonstrations against landowners. There were occasions during the 1930s when members of the AMT were found dead, having been killed by security personnel of the sugar centrals or private armies of landowners.
