integrity to its national territory from internal and
external threats, adheres to the principle of
supremacy of civilian authority over the military at

people’s historical
struggles for freedom
and justice and their

country’s integrity and
sovereignty.
 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE AFP
The AFP, as the embodiment
of the cherished martial
values and traditions of the
Filipino people, traces its
roots to certain historical
events foremost of which is

March 1851 where Lapu-
Lapu, was acknowledge as

signaled our love for
freedom.

On 12 June 1898, the Philippine
Independence day was declared at Kawit,
Cavite, and for the first time, the Philippine
Flag was unfurled by General Emilio

between 1898 and 1899 further
demonstrated the Filipino soldier’s best in
terms of honor, loyalty, valor, duty and
solidarity despite the overwhelming
superiority of the enemy forces. To hasten
