SCM of Philippines is a National Democratic Ecumenical Mass Organization of the youth and students. It was established in 1960, evolving from a mere campus ministerial work of the PFCC (now NCCP). While it upholds the students’ democratic rights and welfare, SCMP integrates and actively participates in the Filipino people’s struggle for national freedom and democracy. Presently, it has 25 chapters and more than 20 ad hocs with 800 membership nationwide.
