Under Executive Order No. 17, the Order of Lapu-Lapu is awarded to officials and personnel of the government, as well as private individuals, in recognition of their “invaluable service in relation to a campaign or advocacy of the President”.

During the visit, the Chief Executive also led the destruction of war materiel and weapons seized in the five-month battle to recapture Marawi City from the hands of the Maute Group terrorists.

Lt. Col. Ray Tiongson, Army spokesperson, said 75 soldiers were awarded the Kampilan Medal while 30 others received the Kamagi Medal.
