Background
This emblem was awarded to members of the Armed Forces of the United States for services culminating in the liberation of the Philippine Islands during the Second World War. The conditions were the same as would be required for award of the Presidential Unit Citation of the United States. The award is made in the name of the President of the Republic of the Philippines. The ribbon is slightly larger for the Army and worn on the right breast; for the other services, the ribbon is the standard size.
Criteria
The citation was first awarded to units of the Armed Forces of the United States in recognition of participation in the war against the Japanese Empire during the periods 7 December 1941 and 10 May 1942, inclusive, and 17 October 1944 to 4 July 1945, inclusive.
The Philippine Republic Presidential Unit Citation (PRPUC) was also awarded to several U.S. military units for outstanding service to the Republic of the Philippines in 1970 and 1972 during disaster relief operations.
In December 2007, the PRPUC was approved for acceptance and wear by the DoD for units that supported Exercise BALIKATAN 02-1 during the period of 31 January 2002 to 31 July 2002. Please contact your base MPE for a listing of eligible units.
