THE PHILIPPINE ARMY HISTORY

(REACTION PAPER)

The Philippine Army who is capable of both combat operations and


development related mission. The goal is to serve the people and to secure the land.
This video is all about the history of the Philippine Army who courageously fight and
wars against the other kingdoms. After watching this video I was very inspired to be
more better and to be more courageous. As George Santayana said that “He who does
not learn from the past is doomed to repeat it”. Brave enough to die in the battle is not
easy but this people they accept and determine to fight and to win the battle and I know
for sure that everything has a reason and that reason has a purpose.

The start of the Filipino Land Forces pre-exists before the Spanish and
American colonial period. At that moment the people have already formed their own
military or hunters and fighters in different barangays and clans in their own regions.
Their goal was to defend the tribe from the strike of the other barangays. In the pre-
colonial Spanish era, the Battle of Mactan or Lapu-Lapu was the very famous events in
the Philippine history, On April 27,1521, They fought against the Spaniards led by
Magellan and the invaders was lost in the battle and unfortunately Magellan was killed.
And after that many Spanish or Spanish colonial era began. Our brave Filipino soldiers
were also organized to fight for Spain and to support some expedition and Diego Silang
is the leader of the group and using his exemplary military leadership style to defeat the
Spaniards. Imagine the our fellow Filipino’s bravery, enough to fight or to defend our
nation for our freedom. So we cadets, must be very determined to be just like them and
also learn so that their lives wouldn’t be in vain. Moreover, the Filipino won against
those foreign rule and on July 7,1892, Andres Bonifacio founded the kataastaasan,
kagalanggalangang katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan or just simply “Katipunan” to
prepare for the Filipino for Armed Volt and they formed the nucleus of the Revolutionary
Philippine Army. And after several years of battling for freedom on June 12,1898,
General Emilio Aguinaldo declared the Philippine’s Independence from Spain. And He
also gave birth to Philippine Army. The Filipino were just experience a little bit of victory
when American forces came again to invade the Pjilippines. And then Aguinaldo
declared a war against the Spain. And due to the superiority of the American Army the
Filipinos were now force to backdown and they continue to struggle for freedom. But by
surrendering of the one of the most powerful leaders of the Philippine Revolution,
General Miguel Malvar, marked the official end of the “Philippine Insurrection”. By
November 15,1935, the Philippine established as a Commonwealth Republic of the
United States of America. Manuel Quezon signed Commonwealth Act. No.1, known as
the National Defense, which entering of the birth of the new Philippine Army. And on
September 21, 1972, the Martial Law Era began. The Philippine Army was growing and
the development roles of transition after EDSA People Power Revolution. And learning
about this history is such a previlage as aspiring to be a one of those people to help the
nation someday.

THE AFP CORE VALUES

The second video is all about the AFP Core Values and the prime base of the Armed
Forces of the Philippines. And the core values of the Philippines are the love of the
country which is to a soldier commits his life to serve the country and the dominant
nature of an Army soldier to love his country by heart and to remain his vows of service.
Next is valor, it is the capacity to conquer fear in doing one’s objective. Courage is
beyond bravery like going after a mission despite seemingly insurmountable
opposition ,uncertain yet not destructive. Third is the Honor, it is the military crowning
value. The nature of the soldiers awareness of individual dignity and self-worth. Fourth
is the Loyalty,it demand obedience to the lawful privilege of duly constituted authority in
the quest for the nations interest. Next is the Duty, Carrying out the requirements of the
position to the best of your ability. And the last is Solidarity, which is fellowship at the
visible level and internally being adjusted to the Philippine Army’s goals, vision, and
programs for reforms.
