It is mandated: To serve and protect the people Secure the sovereignty of the state and the integrity of its national territory from internal and external threats. The AFP pledges allegiance to the Filipino people: Supremacy of civilian authority over the military Uphold and defend the Constitution.  HISTORY OF THE AFP The AFP identifies itself with the Filipino people’s historical struggles for freedom and justice and their vigilance against any attempt to violate the country’s integrity and sovereignty. In retrospect, it recognizes the role of our forefathers as freedom fighters and honors them for their democratic and nationalistic aspirations. The AFP, as the embodiment of the cherished martial values and traditions of the Filipino people, traces its roots to certain historical events.  HISTORY OF THE AFP Battle of Mactan on 27 April 1521 where Lapu-Lapu, the acknowledged father of the AFP, first demonstrated our love for freedom The Dagohoy, Revolt in 1744, the Muslim resistance and other similar uprisings against Spanish colonialism manifesting our fight against foreign domination  HISTORY OF THE AFP The founding of the Katipunan on 07 July 1892 by Andres Bonifacio, considered as the father of the Philippine Army, who proclaimed Filipinos solidarity; The Tejeros Convention on 22 March 1897 which proclaimed officially our desire for complete independence and thereafter gave birth to the Philippine Army. Subsequently, the Philippine Navy was created on 20 May 1898.  HISTORY OF THE AFP On 12 June 1898, the Philippine Independence was declared at Kawit, Cavite, and for the first time, the Philippine Flag was unfurled by General Emilio Aguinaldo and our National Hymn was played. The Filipino-American hostilities between 1898 and 1899 further demonstrated the Filipino soldier’s best in terms of honor, valor, loyalty, duty and solidarity despite the overwhelming superiority of the enemy forces. To hasten the Philippine campaign on peace and order, the Philippine Military Academy was organized on 25 October 1898.  HISTORY OF THE AFP On 21 December 1935, the National Defense Act was enacted officially to create the AFP. The Defense of Bataan and Corregidor from the outbreak of World War II until 09 April and 06 May 1942 respectively against the Japanese invasion forces, the active Philippine guerilla movement and the successful Anti-Huk campaign also best amplified the Filipino soldiers and love of country.  HISTORY OF THE AFP The Philippine Air Force was later established on 01 July 1947. Moreover, it is also noteworthy that the AFP had participated in international peace keeping efforts as its commitment to the United Nations such as the Philippine Expeditionary Force to Korea (PEFTOK) in the early 50’s, the Philippine Air Force Contingent in Congo, Africa in the early 60’s and the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHILCAG) in South Vietnam in the late 60’s. After the EDSA event, the AFP has vigorously pursued a national reconciliation effort for peace and progress. ???  ORGANIZATION OF THE AFP The AFP is duly created by law as an integral part of the Executive Branch of the Government. It is well-organized and disciplined body composed of a citizen armed force necessary for the defense and security of the state. The organizational structure of the AFP provides for centralized direction and control of GHQ to ensure unity of efforts, and the operations of the Major Services and other separate units are decentralized to achieve maximum operational efficiency. As provided for in the National Defense Act, as amended, the AFP shall be composed of: The Regular Force is the permanent military organization which is maintained in time of peace and war. The Reserve Force is the military organization that will come up physical existence only upon mobilization as may be called upon by the Commander-In- Chief due to state of national emergency such war or widespread disorder. ORGANIZATION OF THE AFP HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT FERDINAND R MARCOS JR President of the Republic of the Philippines COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF HONORABLE GILBERTO C TEODORO JR Secretary of National Defense EXERCISES SUPERVISION & CONTROL OVER THE AFP GENERAL ANDRES C CENTINO PA Chief of Staff, AFP EXECUTES POLICIES & GUIDANCE OF THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF  ORGANIZATION OF THE AFP CHAIN OF COMMAND By virtue of the National Defense Act enacted officially on 21 December 1935, the AFP was created.

Early Filipino inhabitants came from across the seas - from Ancient China, Borneo and Malay Peninsula. For centuries, seafaring natives living along the coastal areas of the country have sailed across the uncharted waters of the surrounding seas in their frail little boats. The Filipino seafarers engaged in a very active trade and made regular voyages to neighboring countries in Southeast Asia and the Far East. During the Spanish regime, Filipino sailors have also been utilized by the Spaniards on their local expeditions and fights against their enemies.  HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINE NAVY As an island archipelago, the early Filipinos had realized that the Philippines is a maritime country. Its development and progress depended primarily on the sea and the sustaining trade and commerce not only with other countries but also with neighboring islands. The Filipino nationalist fighting against Spanish domination was fully aware of this as they underscored it as vital factor in their struggle for independence. The destruction of the Spanish Navy became a major component of their revolutionary undertaking.  HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINE NAVY The Philippine Revolutionary Navy of 1898 The history of the Philippine Navy traces its early beginnings during the later part of the Philippine Revolution in 1898. General Emilio Aguinaldo, leader of the revolution, organized the Navy in June 23, 1898 as he proclaimed a Philippine revolutionary government. Captain Pascual Ledesma, a merchant marine ship captain, was appointed as the Director of the Navy assisted by another merchant, marine ship captain, Captain Angel Pabie. The Navy was placed under the Department of War headed by General Mariano Trias responsible for naval operations in support of the land forces and the merchant marine.  HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINE NAVY The Revolutionary Navy was initially composed of a small fleet of eight Spanish steam launches captured from the Spaniards. Their rich owners - Leon Apacible, Manuel Lopez and Gliceria Marella de Villavicencio, later donated five other vessels of greater tonnage, the TAALENO, BALAYAN, BULUSAN, TAAL and the PURISIMA CONCEPCION. The 900-ton inter-island steamer further reinforced the fleet, Compania de Filipinas (renamed Filipinas), steam launches purchased from China and other watercraft donated by wealthy patriots. Naval stations were later established in the ports of Aparri, Legaspi, Balayan, Calapan and San Roque, Cavite that served as ships' home bases.  HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINE NAVY The Navy of General Aguinaldo's revolutionary government bore the brunt of assisting ground operations and transporting Filipino troops and war materials to the different islands of the archipelago in support of the revolutionary cause. When the revolution spread throughout southern, central and northern Luzon, TAALENO and DON FRANCISCO were the first naval boats used in the campaign. These boats led the first offensive along the Batangas line that contributed to the surrender of the Spaniards in Batangas. In one of its support operations, the naval ship, FILIPINAS, almost figured in an encounter with the German cruiser, Irene, which tried to protect the Spanish garrison in Subic. Successive victories of the revolutionaries in the North led further campaigns towards the south. Using Torrijos, Marinduque as a staging area for amphibious operations, the marines and reconnaissance divers trained by General Ananias Diokno were sent to liberate Bicol and the Visayas.  HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINE NAVY THE OFF SHORE PATROLS During the Philippine Commonwealth under President Manuel L Quezon, the Filipino Navy existed as adjunct to the United States Armed Forces. Filipinos served the US military service. With the creation of a separate Philippine armed force, a naval organization was formed as a seagoing arm of the Philippine Army. On 09 February 1939, the Off Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized with headquarters located at Muelle Del Codo, Port Area, and Manila. It was headed by 1LT JOSE V ANDRADA, a graduate of the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Initially, the OSP was assigned with three US Navy Motor Torpedo Boats and christened as follows: Luzon (Q-111) - 83-footer Abra (Q-112) - 65-footer Agusan (Q-113) - 65-footer  HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINE NAVY On 09 January 1941, the OSP Training School was organized with CAPT MARCELO S CASTELO OSP PA as its first Commandant. It offered courses in torpedoes, depth charges, communications, seamanship, engineering and operations of gasoline engines in consonance with the characteristics and capabilities of the Q-Boats. During World War II, however, Japanese planes bombed the OSP Headquarters on 23 December 1941. The Base Commander burned the base before Japanese troops entered Manila.  HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINE NAVY The Philippine Naval Patrol The Off Shore Patrol was reactivated on 01 October 1945, just after World War II. The OSP Training School was transferred to Cavite Naval Shipyard and renamed OSP Training Center. The OSP was further expanded and became a major unit of the Philippine Armed Forces. On 04 October 1947, the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol (PNP) during the time of President Manuel Roxas. On 05 January 1951, the PNP was further designated as the Philippine Navy.  ORGANIZATION OF THE PN HPN TYPE COMMANDS PHIL FLT PMC OPERATIONAL COMMANDS NavFor NavFor NavFor NavFor NavFor NavFor FMRF WEST NOL SOL Cen WEM EM SUPPORT COMMANDS NRC NSSC NCEBde NIC NETC SUPPORT UNITS NISF PNFC NLC BNS MNH FMWC HSG CMOG ORGANIZATION OF THE PN VADM TORIBIO D ADACI JR PN Flag Officer In Command Philippine Navy MGEN JOSEPH FERROUS S CUISON PN(M) Commander Naval Reserve Command CAPT JUNMAR A SALES PN(GSC) Commander Naval Reserve Center National Capital Region ??? Thank You
