Pedro Abad Santos y Basco (Spanish: [ˈpeðɾo aˈβað ˈsantos], Tagalog: [pedro ʔaˈbad ˈsantos]; January 31, 1876 – January 15, 1945) was a Filipino Marxist politician. He founded the Partido Sosyalista ng Pilipinas (PSP) or Philippine Socialist Party in 1932. He ran for several local elections but never won. He also ran for president in the 1941 Philippine presidential election, but later withdrew, weeks before the election. Luis Taruc of the Hukbalahap Rebellion was under his tutelage and was his right-hand man.
