CHAPTER 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS 1. For the Filipino people who regard the Armed Forces of the Philippines as the defender and shield of the nation, unprodded performance and excellent service is called and expected. Such privilege has always been safeguarded by the AFP workforce and deemed an honor worthy to become a part of. This mindset is evident in the numerous men and women entering the military service given the nature and demands of the job, apart from the quality of work they put across in defending the Constitution and the Republic of the Philippines. 2. This commitment is also captured by each award and decoration that soldiers and units received, and for as long as awards and decorations are conferred and created, trust from the Filipino people and excellence from the AFP persist. Section 1-1 Introduction 1. Background a. The acts of awarding and honoring have long been practiced, adopted and have continuously weaved with the evolving systems, organizations and settings throughout history. This can only attest to their role and value which remain imperative and enduring. b. The Republic of the Philippines acknowledges the merits of recognizing the distinguished achievements and services of its citizens and of friendly foreign nations in the attainment of national security and development. Such is manifested in the establishment of Executive Order 236, otherwise known as the “Honors Code of the Philippines”. c. The Armed Forces of the Philippines likewise recognizes the benefits and importance of these practices as exemplified in the core characteristics and guiding principles to which this Awards and Decorations Manual is anchored to, as cited on the proceeding paragraphs. 1) Core Characteristics a) Fair – Fairness is being free from bias or treating all sides alike, justly, equitably, and in conformity with existing rules and standards. The AFP Awards and Decorations System adheres to a common standard and guidelines and ensures that recipients are worthy and have demonstrated exceptional heroism, achievement or service based on the criteria of the awards. The process in itself starts with an apolitical and biased-free recommendation by the Commanding Officer of a unit or a competent personality who has knowledge of the deed or act, achievement or service.

RESTRICTED b) Acceptable –Acceptability happens when the system gains approval of all stakeholders in the aspect of resource availability and attainment of the desired objectives/effects. In the AFP Awards and Decoration System, the synergistic effect of complying with all the other core characteristics, as applied in the selection of Board composition and processing the awards inclusive of all the implementing policies of the system. Equally important in this value is the intrinsic appreciation of the recipient of an award in the right time and place/occasion. c) Simple – Simplicity is being understandable, clear and straight to the point. It manifests straightforward, clear, and uncomplicated criteria, process and procedures to ensure thorough understanding and implementation. The AFP’s procedures on giving awards and decorations are clearly stated and explained. The objectives and policies are stated in such a way that it goes directly to the point. d) Timely – Timeliness is being at the right time and condition, or in the case of awards, conferring the honors at the opportune or appropriate time–time in this sense is falling within a prescribed or reasonable time. e) Enduring– It is to undergo, experience and sustain without giving way or yielding. The Armed Forces of the Philippines’Awards and Decorations System will be applicable to all kinds of medals, ribbons and badges to recognize the exceptional acts, achievements and services of AFP personnel. The system shall always be responsive even with the emerging changes that come with time. f) Responsive – It addresses the need/objective. The Armed Forces of the Philippines’ Awards and Decorations criteria, policies and instructions before granting Awards and Decorations are mentioned clearly and specifically. 2) Guiding Principles a) Do not Demotivate People. Essentially, soldiers want to perform well. They are intrinsically motivated to seek and attain positive results. This zeal for achievement compels most, if not all, soldiers to perform their duties ever to the extent of sacrificing their lives. Thus, the basic rule is “Don’t demotivate them”. It is with this premise that the AFP awards being conferred aim to push soldiers or units to perform well or even better. b) Work for an Integrated and Balance Response. The essence of structuring is to unify and synergize organizational capacity into a single entity working together to provide responsive services to emerging requirement of soldiers and AFP units, where inter-unit coordination and cooperation are highly encouraged between and among commanders, staff and committees/boards. c) Develop a Culture of Preparedness. The certainty of occurrence relative to the AFP Awards and Decorations is a reality, though the time and 1-2

RESTRICTED

RESTRICTED place of triggering events are still unpredictable. As such, the AFP pushes for a culture of preparedness that emphasizes on the core characteristics of the system to attain set goals and objectives. d) Take Advantage of Emerging Technologies. Innovations and development in technology are regular themes of almost all organizations. The usefulness of new products, processes and services emerging from such technologies, when rightfully utilized, simplifies complex settings while providing friendly, clear and fast solutions/actions. The AFP Awards and Decorations System has everything to gain in continually adopting needed technologies. e) Be Flexible. Challenges, preparedness and responses will always be dependent on diverse needs emanating from the changes in the environment. The AFP will always be creative yet focused on implementing the Awards and Decorations System in anticipation of future changes that could affect the impact of the system to the individual soldiers and concerned AFP units. f) Ensure Real-time Accomplishment/Achievement of Desired End State. The AFP ensures that acts of heroism, achievements and services of deserving personnel are timely recognized to boost morale and motivate the concerned individual and unit to internally strive for excellence. g) Ensure Responsibilities and Accountabilities. Institutionalizing accountability as a functioning part of a personnel management system is essential to the AFP. It is in this effort that ownership, motivational recognition is firmly in place, which consequently promotes mutual respect and teamwork among involved stakeholders. 2. Significance a. Recognition is a human need. It is an innate desire of every person to be acknowledged and recognized for an act/deed notably done, and such public conferring of awards and decorations only precedes a strengthened self worth. Further, it becomes a justification that one’s part or purpose is of great significance. b. Recognition is a driving force/motivation in the attainment of greater individual and, subsequently, organizational goals. In the AFP, where men and women are committed to support and defend the Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines and where unbounded service and risk of lives are great and demanding, prompt and appropriate recognition of meritorious and outstanding performance and deeds become a driving force that harness innate qualities and potentials for the attainment of an assigned mission. c. Recognition is an embodiment of competence and excellence. Awards and decorations conferred are no mere proofs and memorabilia of exemplary acts, more significantly, these are embodiments of selfless intents, reflections of efficiency and effectiveness displayed, and are enduring models and RESTRICTED

During the eruption of Mt Pinatubo, only three T-33As were evacuated to ABAB. The others were damaged beyond repair, yet the Squadron Commander, MGEN JOSE TONY S VILLARETE, his Ex-O, CAPT DANIEL M PENA and the other instructor pilots were able to check out four new students. Another remarkable achievement was the completion of the upgrade to Element Lead Training of three PAF officers. They continued to fly such sorties as Air Defense Training missions, reconnaissance and persuasion flights all over the country. Due to dwindling resources, the aircraft grounded, accumulating only 64 sorties to fly them after months of being discurrent, with no one to check them out for recurrency, since not a single pilot in the Wing was their current in the aircraft at that time. By these achievements, these officers earned lasting credit for themselves and the Philippine Air Force. BY COMMAND OF LIEUTENANT GENERAL RODRIGUEZ JR: OFFICIAL:

Unmindful of their personal safety, Sergeant Viajedor and his section established defensive positions at the occupied objective in order to prevent enemy forces from breaking away from their final strongholds and subsequently trapped for the final push of the main effort. The troops detected some enemy while trying to flee from the tightening noose of the government forces carting with them one (1) unidentified killed rebel. Subsequently the defensive position to give orders and making sure that each approaches or exits of the enemy are manned and continuously being monitors, resulted to one (1) killed. Likewise, the troops encountered another enemy who tried to breakthrough but was repelled by the troops leaving behind one (1) enemy dead. The seizure of the enemy strongholds has made a devastating blow on the enemy, cutting them off from any opportunity to escape and relocate. This greatly contributed in the over-all plan to decimate any remnants of the enemy to reach havoc elsewhere. By this heroic deed, Sergeant Viajedor and his section earned honor not only for themselves but also for the Armed Forces of the Philippines. BY COMMAND OF GENERAL ARDO: OFFICIAL:

With courage, he took advantage of the thick undergrowth and tactically maneuvered towards the enemy position. A fierce firefight ensued between them for ten minutes. He directed his companions to give him cover as he moved from one place to another to be able to penetrate the enemy’s location. Once in a vantage position, he and his companions delivered heavy volume of fires towards the enemy, prompting the latter to withdraw, leaving behind two killed comrades and one M16 rifle. One of the enemy fatalities was later identified as the alleged Finance Officer of the Front Committee 77. By this display of courage, CAA BANDOY earned lasting honor not only for himself but also for the military organization.

for gallantry in action as members of the Alpha Company, 54 Infantry Battalion, 5 Infantry Division, Philippine Army during an encounter with 16 terrorist dissidents with three amazons at vicinity Sitio Sinampat, Barangay Kinama, Rizal, Kalinga-Apayao on 11 August 1994. At dawn of that day, one section composed of regular troops and CAFGU Active Auxiliary personnel jumped off from San Francisco Detachment at Rizal, Kalinga-Apayao heading towards southwest of Barangay Kinama. On their way, the operating troops chanced upon an amazon taking a bath while another armed companion was posting as security. With no way out, the duo voluntarily surrendered. Immediately after, the troops maneuvered tactically on a high ground, sensing that more of them were just within the vicinity, but they were noticed by the dissidents. This prompted the team leader of the troops to order his men to open fire towards the enemy position. Caught unaware, the terrorists panicked but were able to retaliate, hitting two of the government troopers. At this point the troops fought back and delivered heavy volume of fires at the enemy position. The firefight lasted for almost five hours until reinforcement arrived at the scene of encounter, forcing the terrorists to withdraw towards different directions. This encounter resulted in the killing of two enemies, wounding of two others, capture of another two terrorists and recovery of one M-16 A1 rifle. By this gallantry, these CAFGU Active Auxiliary personnel earned honor not only for themselves and their unit but also for the Philippine Army. BY COMMAND OF GENERAL ENRILE: OFFICIAL:
