What is the Order of Sikatuna (Orden Ni Sikatuna)?

During the state dinner held at +Malacañang Palace on April 28, 2014, President Noynoy Aquino awarded or granted the Order of Sikatuna to US President Barack Obama which I can say is just right.


Well, some of us already heard the term Order of Sikatuna, and some of us are new to the term. Well, Order of Sikatuna, also known as Orden Ni Sikatuna (In Filipino Term) 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. It commemorate the Pacto de Sangre or Blood Compact between the Philippines and other foreign Country.


Now you know what is the Order of Sikatuna (Orden Ni Sikatuna).
