Partido Manggagawa (PM, lit. 'Workers' Party') is a progressive labor party-list in the Philippines founded in 2001.
Partido ng Manggagawa was officially launched on February 12, 2001, the same day that one of its convenors, socialist labor leader Filemon "Ka Popoy" Lagman, was laid to rest days following his assassination. By that time, it was affiliated with another party-list, Sanlakas.
In the 2001 party-list elections, Partido ng Manggagawa gathered enough votes to gain a seat in the House of the Representatives for its first representative, labor organizer Rene Magtubo. Magtubo was able to retain his seat at the subsequent 2004 party-list elections.
In 2007, after electoral defeat by both Partido ng Manggagawa and Sanlakas in the party-list elections, the former split from the latter, over the issue of party-list nominees by PM. Partido ng Manggagawa then became a separate organization from Sanlakas, Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino, and other affiliates.[4] PM was also delisted as a party-list after losing in the following 2010 elections.
In 2012, Magtubo attempted to register a new party-list, the Partido ng Manggagawa Coalition, but was denied registration by COMELEC.[5] The party-list then became known as Partido Manggagawa for the 2016 and 2019 party-list elections.
Currently, Partido Manggagawa is affiliated with several organizations, including NAGKAISA! Labor Coalition, 1Sambayan, and the labor union Sentro ng Mga Nagkakaisa at Progresibong Manggagawa (SENTRO).
