The
Order of Sikatuna (
Filipino : Orden ng Sikatuna ) is the national
order of diplomatic merit of the
Republic of the Philippines . It is conferred upon individuals who have rendered exceptional and meritorious services to the Republic of the Philippines, upon diplomats, officials and nationals of foreign states who have rendered conspicuous services in fostering, developing and strengthening relations between their country and the Philippines, or upon personnel of the
Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), both in the Home Office and in the
Foreign Service .
The
Order of
Sikatuna may be
awarded by the Secretary of Foreign Affairs in the name and by authority of the
President .
History
The
Order of Sikatuna was established by
President
Elpidio Quirino as the "
Order of Sikatuna" through Executive Order No. 571 dated February 27, 1953.
[1]
[2] Section 2 of the executive order states, "The
Order of Sikatuna [...] commemorates the first treaty (Pacto de Sangre) between the Philippines and a foreign country..." In the Quirino
order , the
Order of Sikatuna commemorates the pacto de sangre or blood compact, more popularly known as
sandugo . This was, according to the Executive Order, the first international
treaty of friendship between
Bohol native chieftain,
Datu Sikatuna and Spanish conquistador
Miguel López de Legazpi , between a
Filipino and
Spaniard . Lately, however, the Executive Order's premise has been put to question. The event was not the first blood compact since the first recorded happened 44 years before between Ferdinand Magellan, representing the Spanish crown, and raia Siaiu, king of the island-port of Mazaua. Magellan called the ceremony "casi casi", a Malayan term meaning "to be one and the same thing" or to be blood brothers.
[3] At the same time the first recorded Treaty of Peace was entered into on Tuesday, April 9, 1521, by datu Humabon of Cebu and Magellan.
[4]
The
Order of Sikatuna's composition was expanded from the original four classes by Presidents
Diosdado Macapagal and again by
Ferdinand E. Marcos .
[5]
[6] In 2003, President
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo reformed the Philippine system of
orders ,
medals , and decorations, through Executive Order No. 236, known as the
Honors Code of the Philippines which codified the civilian orders, decorations and
medals of the Republic of the Philippines.
[7] Among its provisions was one renaming the
order as simply, "The
Order of Sikatuna," and clarifying its protocolar standing.
