Samaháng Magdalo (Filipino, "Magdalo Association") is a socio-civic, , non-profit, nationalist organisation based in the Philippines. It is otherwise known as the New Katipunan, it having taken inspiration from the struggle of the late 19th century Revolutionary member Emilio Aguinaldo, and works for the empowerment of the Filipino people through proper exercise of their rights and sustained vigilance against graft and corruption in government. In 2010, Samahang Magdalo metamorphosed into a full socio-civic entity with programs and activities based on pure initiatives.
The group was formally recognised by the Securities and Exchange Commission on 9 September 2010 in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila. It is registered SEC with Company Registration Number CN201014489 and Company Tax Identification Number (TIN) 007-869-045.
Former Marine Captain Gary Cajolo Alejano from Sipalay, Negros Occidental is the Founding President, while Rajah Danny P. Orfiano serves as the National President.

On November 29, 2007, Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and the Magdalo Group marched off their Makati court hearing and went to Manila Peninsula Hotel. It was a sign of protest which was participated by former Vice-President Teofisto Guingona.
It is the primordial concern of the organization to create a chapter which has a strong adherence to the quality of its members rather its quantity.This is the reason why it adopts a one chapter policy in a given geographical area prior to a full recognition.
The Samahang Magdalo does not allow corruption to thrive in its organization. It will not also allow other entities to use it for ends other than the one prescribe by its oath of conduct.
