Orders, decorations, and medals of the Philippines

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.

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.
