 Introduction
 The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)
recognizes the Constitution of the Republic as
the legitimate expression of the people’s will. It
is mandated to serve and protect the people and
secure the sovereignty of the state and the
integrity to its national territory from internal
and external threats, adheres to the principle of
supremacy of civilian authority over the
military at all times and vows to uphold and

 BRIEF 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.
 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 the
Battle of Mactan on 27 April
1521 where Lapu-Lapu, the
acknowledge father of the AFP,
first signaled our
love for freedom
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE AFP

The Dagohoy, Revolt in 1744, the

Muslim resistance and other similar
uprisings against Spanish colonialism,
the founding of the Katipunan on 07
July 1892 by Andres Bonifacio,
considered as the father of the
Philippine Army, 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.
BRIEF 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. By virtue of the National
Defense Act enacted officially on 21 December
1935, The Armed Forces of the Philippines was
created.
