The Kampilan Medal is awarded to individual seriously injured or wounded as result of direct participation in activity pursuant to the President’s campaign or advocacy.

In his speech the President told the troops to “try to be alive and fight for the country. Our duty here is to protect the people and to preserve itong Pilipinas natin. Medyo magulo pero kaya nagsakripisiyo kayo.”

“Kaya it behooves upon me na kailangan katabi ninyo ako. Kung pwede lang sana pati doon sa barilan. Ako, gusto ko. Karami kong magagandang baril na hindi ko magamit,” he added.
