KMU is a labor center promoting genuine, militant and patriotic trade unionism. It is genuine because it recognizes the struggle between labor and capital and upholds the legitimate interest of the working class; militant because it relies on the workers collective struggle in defending trade union and democratic rights; and patriotic because it seeks to end imperialist domination and control over the Philippines.

Ang Bayan (The People) is the official news organ of the Communist Party of the Philippines issued by the CPP Central Committee. The Communist Party of the Philippine is determined to implement its general programme for a people's democratic revolution.
