The Hukbalahap, short for Hukbo ng Bayan Laban sa Hapon (People's Army Against the Japanese), was a guerrilla movement in the Philippines during World War II that fought against Japanese occupation and later against the Philippine government. Originally formed as a response to the brutal treatment of Filipinos by Japanese forces, the Hukbalahap evolved into a political force advocating for agrarian reform and social justice post-war. This group played a significant role in shaping the political landscape of the Philippines in the years following World War II.
