Philippines. Republic. Kagitingan Sa Barangay Decora-
tion
. Established 1973 for award to Integrated Civilian Home
Defense Forces for bravery in combating insurgents, in three
classes, Lakan (1st), Datu (2nd) and Maginoo (3rd). A First
Class Lakan neck medal, 60mm x 42mm, in oxidized bronze, gilt
and multi-color enamels on full length neck ribbon as worn. The
official statutes state that the Lakan Class is only "awarded by
the President of the Philippines to any ICHDF member or other
civilian official who has participated in action involving actual
conflict with an enemy distinguishing himself conspicuously by
gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond
the call of duty. He must perform in action a deed of personal
bravery or self-sacrifice, so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish
him from other members, or the performance of which is more
than ordinarily hazardous service", clearly very stringent award
requirements fully equal to the USA Medal Of Honor, the British
Victoria Cross, etc. Reynolds "Philippine Medals" pgs. 53-54.
Only the second specimen seen by this cataloger in over 25
years, thus presumed Rare. A choice specimen, better than
Extremely Fine with excellent enamels and ribbon.
Estimated Value ................................................... $500 - 600
