Early History

Philippine Revolution (1896-1899) and First Philippine Republic (1899-1901)

The need of a naval force was illustrated when the Filipino revolutionaries included a provision in the Biak-na-Bato Constitution authorizing the government to license privateers to attack enemy (i.e., Spanish) vessels. Combatants Filipino independence movement Spanish Empire Commanders Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Aguinaldo Spanish Governor-General of the Philippines Strength 80,000 soldiers unknown Casualties unknown unknown The Philippine Revolution (1896—1898) was an armed conflict between the Spanish colonial regime and the Katipunan, which sought Philippine independence from Spain. ...

During the Philippine Revolution, General Emilio Aguinaldo formed the Revolutionary Navy, consisting of the pinnace Magdalo and several steam launches, captured from the Spanish. The Navy refitted these for war and moved troops, arms, and supplies to the provinces. The Navy played a major role during the raid against the Spanish garrison and magazine on Bacoor Bay, the first amphibious assault by the Revolutionary Navy. Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy (March 22, 1869 – February 6, 1964) was a Filipino general, politician, and independence leader. ...

The fleet was later reinforced by armed merchant ships, including the Taaleño, the Balayan, the Bulusan, and the Purisima Concepcion, which were donated to the Navy. Another significant addition was the 800-ton steamer Compania de Filipinas, which belonged to the Compania General de Tabacos de Filipinas and was seized by the Cuban Vicente Catalan, who hoisted the Filipino flag on the ship and proclaimed himself Admiral of the Filipino Navy. The Germans then objected to the flying of the Filipino flag and the French, who claimed that they owned the ship, demanded its return.

On January 21, 1899, the Malolos Constitution was passed and made the President of the new First Philippine Republic the commander-in-chief of the Army and the Navy and transferred the Bureau of the Navy from the Ministry of Foreign Relations to the Department of War, which thereafter became known as the Department of War and the Navy. is the 269th day of the year (270th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

American Colonial Government (1901-1941)

The American colonial government in the Philippines created the Bureau of the Coast Guard and Transportation, which aimed to maintain peace and order, transport Philippine Constabulary troops throughout the archipelago, and to guard against smuggling and piracy. The Americans employed many Filipino sailors in this bureau and in the Bureaus of Customs and Immigration, Island and Inter-Island Transportation, Coast and Geodetic Survey, and Lighthouses.

World War II (1941-1945)

In 1935, the Commonwealth Government passed the National Defense Act, which aimed to ensure the security of the country. This was criticized because it placed the burden of the defense of the Philippines on ground forces, which in turn, was formed from reservists. It discounted the need for a Commonwealth air force and navy, and naval protection was provided by the United States Asiatic Fleet. 1935 (MCMXXXV) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar). ...

During the course of the war, surviving units of the Offshore Patrol conducted hit-and-run attacks against the occupying Japanese forces.

Contemporary History (1946-present)

In 1945, after the liberation of the Philippines, the Offshore Patrol was reactivated and was strengthened in 1947 after President of the Philippines Manuel Roxas issued Executive Order No. 94. This order elevated the Patrol to a major command that was equal with the Army, Constabulary, and Air Force.

In 1950, Secretary of Defense Ramon Magsaysay created a Marine battalion with which to carry out amphibious attacks against the Communist Hukbalahap movement. The next year, President Elpidio Quirino issued Executive Order No. 389, re-designating the Philippine Naval Patrol as the Philippine Navy. It was to be composed of all naval and Marine forces, combat vessels, auxiliary craft, naval aircraft, shore installations, and supporting units that were necessary to carry out all functions of the service.

In the succeeding decades, the Philippine Navy organized the following units (aside from the Marines):

• Naval Shore Establishment
• Naval Operating Forces
• Philippine Coast Guard
• Home Defense Command
• Military Sealift and Terminal Command.

By the 1960s, the Philippine Navy was one of the best-equipped navies in Southeast Asia. Many of the countries in the region that had gained independence between World War II and the 1960s, such as Indonesia, sought assistance from the Philippine Navy in organizing their own navies. In 1967, the maritime law enforcement functions of the Navy were transferred to the Philippine Coast Guard. The 1960s decade refers to the years from the beginning of 1960 to the end of 1969. ...

For most of the succeeding decades, the government had to shift its attention towards the Communist insurgency. This focus forced the government to strengthen the Philippine Army and the Philippine Air Force. Naval operations were confined to troop transport, naval gunfire support, and blockade.

A blockade is any effort to prevent supplies, troops, information or aid from reaching an opposing force. ...

The 1992 withdrawal of the United States from its facilities in the Philippines forced the Philippine Navy to rely on its own resources. The American withdrawal is now largely seen as the inevitable and natural consequence of the end of the Cold War and the end of bipolarism following the collapse of worldwide communism. However, it also resulted in a security vacuum in a region where tensions owing to deep-seated historic animosities and geopolitical disputes persisted, a vacuum that could be filled by regional powers. The pull-out also drew renewed attention to potential flashpoints, such as the Korean Peninsula and the Spratly Islands, that could bring nations into open conflict in the future. These developments hastened the 1995 passage of the AFP Modernization Law by the Philippine Congress to strengthen the defense capabilities of the nation. Year 1992 (MCMXCII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1992 Gregorian calendar). ... For other uses, see Cold War (disambiguation). ... The Korean Peninsula is a peninsula in East Asia. ...

Modernization is also expected to greatly enhance the Navy’s capacity to fulfill certain non-traditional tasks it has taken on as a result of recent international developments. In 1997, the Philippine Navy acquired three Peacock-class vessels from the Royal Navy after the British withdrawal from Hong Kong. On March 2004, the United States transferred the former USS Cyclone to the Philippine Navy, which was rechristened BRP Gen. Mariano Alvarez (Patrol Ship 38), in honor of a revolutionary general in the Philippine war for independence against Spain. Of note is that the Cyclone-class ships are based on a design from Vosper Thorneycroft of England, who built the first modern warships for the Offshore Patrol before World War II.

Mariano Álvarez (1818-1924) - Filipino general, statesman, and teacher. ...

The Philippine Navy Modernization Program (part of the AFP Modernization Plan) specifies the projects and activities that the Navy will undertake to develop into a respectable armed force that will be able to reasonably provide a credible measure of deterrence. This will ensure effective sea control over the country’s maritime areas.

With comparatively modern landing ships and a small but well-disciplined Marine Corps, the Philippines would appear to be well-equipped to perform amphibious assaults. However, a shortage of ships with naval aviation assets (currently there are just two such ships) would suggest preemptive and administrative landings would be the rule rather than opposed assaults against enemy-occupied installations. The navy does possess eight landing ships, each carrying two LCVPs, which could be deployed in small-scale preemptive landings. Six of these ships can each carry up to sixteen (16) light armored vehicles. This amphibious force would therefore be more likely to be used in internal security operations rather than in force projection overseas (with the possible exception of the Spratly Islands.) It has been suggested that Landing operation be merged into this article or section. ... Naval aviation of the United States. ...

Organization

The Philippine Navy is administered through the Department of National Defense (DND). Under the AFP structure, the Chief of Staff, AFP (CSAFP), a four-star general, is the most senior military officer. The senior naval officer is the Flag Officer-in-Command (FOIC), usually with a rank of vice-admiral. He or she, along with his or her Air Force and Army counterparts, is junior only to the CSAFP. The FOIC is solely responsible for the administration and operational status of the Navy. This does not adequately cite its references or sources. ... Vice Admiral is a naval rank of three star level, equivalent to Lieutenant General in seniority. ...

Currently the Navy establishment is actually composed of two (2) type commands, the[| Philippine Fleet] and Philippine Marine Corps (PMC). It is further organized into six (6) Naval Operational Commands, six (6) Naval Support Commands, and four (4) Naval Support Units. Considering the vastness of the territorial waters that the Navy has to protect and defend, optimal deployment of naval resources is achieved through identification of suitable locations where the presence of these units are capable of delivering responsive services. The Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) is the marine corps of the Philippines, and is part of the Philippine Navy. ...

The Philippine Fleet, or simply the "Fleet", is under the direct command of the Commander Phil. Fleet while the Marine Corps is answerable to the Commandant, PMC (CPMC). However, due to the fact that the Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) is a large part of the Philippine Navy, the FOIC retains much administrative control over the PMC.

Fleets

The Philippine Navy has only one fleet, the [| Philippine Fleet] . The terms "Philippine Navy" and [| Philippine Fleet] are interchangeable. As a type command, the Fleet has four (4) major units: the Ready Force, Service Force, Patrol Force, and Assult Craft Force; one (1) support group, the Fleet Support Group; and two (2) special units, the Naval Air Group and Naval Special Operations Group.

[| Philippine Fleet]

Marines

The Philippine Marine Corps is organized into three (3) active-duty Marine Brigades (comprising a total of ten (10) Marine battalions); the 4th Marine Brigade (Reserve); the Combat Service and Support Brigade; the Marine Security and Escort Group; and various support and independent units.
