About Filemon Lagman
Filemon Castelar Lagman, also known by the aliases Ka Popoy and Carlos Forte, was a Filipino revolutionary socialist and labor leader who supported Marxism-Leninism. He split with the Communist Party of the Philippines in 1991 due to ideological disagreements to form the Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino (BMP) and Sanlakas. He was assassinated in 2001 at the University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City while working for the launch of the electoral party Partido ng Manggagawa. Filemon's first wife was Dodi Garduce, while his second wife was Bobbie Jopson (sister of martial law dissident Edgar Jopson). When martial law was declared on September 23, 1972, Lagman established the first network of the underground revolutionary movement in Navotas.
