Magdalo Para sa Pilipino Sectoral Party Organization, also known as Magdalo Para sa Pilipino or Magdalo Party-List, is a political party in the Philippines. Magdalo represents the retired personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and their families, as well as the urban poor and the youth at the House of Representatives.[1]
The organization was established by the Samahang Magdalo on July 27, 2010 in Quezon City, Metro Manila.[1] Samahang Magdalo itself had links to the Magdalo Group, which led the Oakwood Mutiny and Manila Peninsula siege with both efforts to remove then-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo from her post.
Magdalo Party-List is re-endorsed by Former Senator and Navy Officer Antonio Trillanes in 2016 elections, while he's running for vice presidency of the Philippines with supporting Grace Poe's presidency but they lost.

2010 elections
Although not an official political party, most of the Magdalo members support Manny Villar, Presidential standard-bearer of the Nacionalista Party and Senator Manuel Roxas II, Vice-Presidential candidate of the Liberal Party.[2] However, the group's support for Villar's presidency runs counter to Brig. General Danilo Lim, who had been adopted and supported by the Liberal Party, which is fielding Roxas and Senator Benigno Aquino III.
