Zone One Tondo Organization

Zone One Tondo Organization (ZOTO), also known as Samahan ng Mamamayan-ZOTO is a federation of urban poor community groups based in relocation sites and areas for demolition in the Philippines.[1] Established in October 20, 1970,[2] ZOTO is the oldest urban poor organization in the Philippines.[3]

As the name implies, ZOTO started in Tondo, Manila and eventually spread throughout the country when their Tondo-based members were relocated to different cities and provinces. As of today, ZOTO has established chapters in Malabon, Caloocan, Cavite, Bulacan, and Pampanga.[4]
