He organized studies, produced publications, and entered negotiations with other local and foreign parties, and eventually contributed to the reorganization brought about by the First Great Rectification Movement.

1944

Fidel V. Agcaoili (August 8, 1944 – July 23, 2020), also known as Ka Fidel, was a Filipino activist and revolutionary.

He was a member of the Communist Party of the Philippines' Central Committee, along with Jose Maria Sison and Luis Jalandoni during the Marcos dictatorship.

1960

Agcaoili first became a student at the University of the Philippines Diliman in the early 1960s, taking up Political Science.

As a freshman, he was first exposed to activism when he became a member of the Student Cultural Association of the University of the Philippines (SCAUP).

As a member of SCAUP, he encouraged his friends and neighbors in Philamlife Homes to join in mass actions organized by SCAUP.

He also joined a fraternity in UP, encouraging his fraternity brods to be politically active.

Norberto Basilio, who would eventually become the Philippine ambassador to Greece and Bangladesh introduced Agcaoili to Jose Maria Sison and Julie de Lima.

Agcaoili joined a Marxist study organized by Sison, which took place in the private residence of ambassador Emilio Bejasa.

His son, Emilio, Jr. was also a member of SCAUP, and his father had a collection of Marxist works.

Basilio, Bejasa, Jr., and Agcaoili would continue to maintain close contact during the Martial Law years as members of the Communist Party of the Philippines.

While in the United States, he became a part of the protests against the Vietnam War.

1964

He returned a year later, in time to participate in the founding of Kabataang Makabayan in 1964.

At some point, Agcaoili became a high-ranking officer in his father's insurance company.

1970

In 1970, Agcaoili became part of the Central Committee of the CPP.

He also became the chair of the CPP's Finance Committee.

Agcaoili was involved in "discreet" action as part of the CPP.

Although he did not take an active part, he was present in the Battle of Mediola on January 30, 1970.

Agcaoili and Satur Ocampo were also involved in aiding Victor Corpus' defection to the New People's Army, assisting in the 1970 raid of the Philippine Military Academy raid in Baguio.

1972

Agcaoili, Rosario, and their two children went underground before the imposition of Martial Law in September 1972.

1974

While in prison, Agcaoili continued to push for better living conditions, visiting hours, and so on.
