“The greatest History of every
Country is the History of its army”
The origin of the ARMED FORCES OF
THE PHILIPPINES (AFP) could be traced to
the Tejeros Convention in 1897-where the
revolutionary government of General Emilio
Aguinaldo created the Philippine Army under
Captain General Artemio Ricarte. This Army
was the off-shoot of the Revolutionary Forces,
which took arms against the Spanish
Government from August 30, 1896 up to
December 10, 1898 when the treaty of Paris
was entered into by the United States of
America and Spain
The same Army engaged the
Americans during the hostilities
between the Philippines and the
United States which began on the
night of February 4, 1899 and lasted
up to September 25, 1903 - when the
last of Filipino Generals, General
Simeon Ola surrendered to the
Americans.
After the Filipino-American war, the
country's armed forces organized through
the promulgation of the National Defense
Act in 1935 which created the Philippine
Army, with the off-shore patrol a and Army
Air Corps as its major components.
