The Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino or Solidarity of Filipino Workers (BMP) is a socialist political center of militant workers and trade unions in the Philippines. It comprises 200 local unions nationwide with a mass membership of over 100,000 laborers.[2]
Established on 2 September 1993 as the Bukluran ng Manggagawa para sa Pagbabago (Solidarity of Workers for Change),[3] it was formed as a result of the great left divide in the Philippines, which also affected the Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), about 70 percent[citation needed] of KMU-NCR's membership left the organization to form BMP as a counterpose to its sectarian politics that failed to unite Filipino workers and advance the Philippine labor movement.[2]
