Template:Short description The orders, decorations, and medals conferred upon civilians and military personnel in the Republic of the Philippines are listed by orders of precedence. Philippine civilian orders and decorations are conferred by the President of the Philippines in his or her capacity as head of state. In certain instances, the conferment of certain orders and decorations requires the concurrence of the Congress of the Philippines, or of certain advisory bodies.

The Honors Code of the Philippines, established in 2003 through Executive Order No. 236, defines three awards of the highest prestige, collectively referred to as Honors:[1]

  • Orders are awards that grant membership in an exclusive association of honored individuals, and which by tradition carry with them distinctive insignia to be worn by recipients;
  • Decorations are wearable awards usually conferred for a specific act of meritorious service;
  • Medals are wearable awards usually conferred to recognize service and/or achievement or to commemorate a significant event.
