Katipunan ng mga Anak-Pawis sa Pilipinas

The Katipunan ng mga Anak-Pawis sa Pilipinas (KAP) (English: Proletarian Labor Congress of the Philippines) was the third trade union federation in the Philippines. It was formed in 1929 after an antagonistic national convention of the Congreso Obrero de Filipinas (COF, "Philippine Labor Congress") where election results were manipulated, causing Crisanto Evangelista and his faction to split from the COF.^[1] In 1930, the KAP changed its name to Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas after it initiated the formation of a "mass political party" and questions arose regarding its name.^[2]
