The Bigkis Pinoy Movement (BIGKIS, transl. Bind Filipinos Movement) is a Filipino political party. The party is affiliated with the Alliance of Peoples Organization.[1]

In 2001, a Bigkis Pinoy representative (Efraim Genuino) was appointed by Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as the chairperson of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation.[2][3]

In January 2002, Bigkis Pinoy and the Rebolusyonaryong Alyansang Makabansa formed an alliance at the Cuneta Astrodome, Pasay, where the latter helped remove the Marcos administration in 1986.[4]

In 2022, a candidate for senator ran under the Bigkis Movement Party, Leo Olarte, who placed 53rd with 566,240 votes.[5][6][7]

In the 2022 Laguna local elections, Bigkis gained the mayoral seat, the vice mayoral seat, and 4 council seats for the municipality of Los Baños, Laguna.[3]
