Mobilization during EDSA People Power commemoration, 2022, condemning Marcos and Duterte.

The Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas or (English: Peasant Movement of the Philippines), also known by its initials KMP is a national democratic mass organization and a labor center of peasants in the Philippines. The largest group of peasants in the country, it was established on July 24, 1985, in order to unite peasants on the issue of forwarding genuine land reform in the Philippines confronted by centuries-long feudalism and control of landlords and foreign agribusinesses on the Philippine agriculture.[1]

Danilo “Ka Daning” Ramos serves as the national chairperson.[2]

Danilo Ramos speaking before Central Luzon farmers, 2025.

KMP has long-exposed bogus land reform programs by the Philippine government while arousing, organizing, and mobilizing the peasant masses in order to uplift their social conditions and participate in the fight for national democracy.[1]

Different chapters have launched different programs and actions including bungkalan or collective farming, land activities, campaigns against landgrabbing, educational work, and relief during disasters.[1]

KMP has long-criticized the government’s Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) and its extension program CARP with Extension and Reforms (CARPER), denouncing its illusion of land reform that has only facilitated land monopoly of land reform. The program has been deemed as market-oriented that relied on market transactions instead of free land distribution. According to government data, farmholdings “fully-owned” decreased by 12% between 1980 and 2012, from 58% to 46%. KMP has also been vigilant on the plan of the government by advocating 100% foreign land ownership through charter change.[3]

KMP, other, peasant advocates, and those in solidarity like Anakpawis Partylist and other Makabayan representatives, have filed a Genuine Agrarian Reform Bill (GARB) since 2007 for redistributive agrarian reform.[3]
