PD 310 Section 2

Section 2

SEC. 2. The Kagitingan sa Barangay shall be divided into three categories: a. Lakan — to be 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. b. Datu — To be awarded by the Secretary of National Defense to any ICHDF member or other civilian official for acts of conspicuous courage and gallantry in the face of an armed enemy. He must perform an act or acts of heroism so notable and involving risk of life so extraordinary, as to set him apart from other members. c. Maginoo — To be awarded by the Chief of Staff, AFP to any ICHDF member or other civilian official for gallantry in action not warranting the award of the Lakan, Datu or Kagitingan sa Barangay, It may be awarded to recognize single acts of merit or meritorious service accomplished with distinction by any civilian officials either in duly, responsibility or in direct support to military operations.
