Kabataang Makabayan
Philippine socialist youth organization / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kabataang Makabayan ("Patriotic Youth"), also known by the acronym KM, is an underground communist youth organization in the Philippines which was active from 1964[2] to 1975.[3] It was banned by the Philippine government in 1972 when then-President Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law, and was driven underground.[4][5] It was dissolved in 1975 along with other National Democratic mass organizations, as part of the National Democratic movement's change of strategy against the Marcos regime.[3] Revived within the Manila-Rizal area in 1977 and later nationally in 1984,[6] the organization continues to exist.[2]
