The Partido Obrero de Filipinas (Spanish, "Labor Party of the Philippines") was a Marxist political party formed in 1924 by Filipino labor organizers Crisanto Evangelista, Domingo Ponce and Cirilo Bognot during the administration of the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands. This party later formed the core of the Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas (Tagalog, "Communist Party of the Philippines") which was established in 1930.[1][2]
