Acording to the "Real Academia Española" (Royal Spanish Academy) (1)(2) "ante merídiem" (a.m.) and "post merídiem" (p.m.) is the proper way to use 12-hour format. This applies to all spanish speaking countries, so this might be used for all spanish locales. Thanks to Braulio José Solano Rojas for the links.
