BRIEF HISTORY
On the 22th day of March 1897 Artemio Ricarte
was elected as Captain General of the Revolutionary
Army with which the first Philippine Republic was born.
The Philippine Legislature House Bill Nr 72 was then
provided for the creation of the Bureau of National
Defense on 1934. On the following year, President
Manuel L Quezon signed the Commonwealth Act Nr 1,
which became the legal basis for the organization of
the army in the Philippines on December 21, 1935.
With the issuance of Executive Order Number 11,
dated 11 January 1936, President Quezon caused the
designation of Jose Delos Reyes was appointed as
Brigadier General and had Bgen Basilio J Sables and
Col Guillermo B Francisco as acting first and second
Assistants Chief of Staff, respectively.
The AFP was organized lately in 1936. Though small
and young compared with the armies of the great
powers. It is something that every Filipino can be proud
of. Its epic struggle in Bataan and Corrigidor opened the
eyes of the world they believed was a mighty
achievement for a small growing army such as we had.
The gallant stand and endurance of the defenders of
Bataan and Corrigidor was glowing example of what a
poorly equipped but estimated could do on defense of its
fatherland. The late General Mac Arthur paid tribute to
Filipino soldiery when he proclaims Give me 10,000
Filipino soldiers and Ill conquer the world.
