 BRIEF HISTORY

After three centuries of Spanish rule there were calls for

social reforms and an end to the perceived oppressive friar
rule. In 1896, Andres Bonifacio founded the Katipunan to
prepare his band of Filipinos for armed revolt against the
Spanish government. The Katipunan formed an army
of insurgents.
 BRIEF HISTORY

Almost a year after the outbreak of hostilities between the

Katipuneros and the Spanish troops, Emilio Aguinaldo's newly formed
the Philippine Revolutionary Government and its Army were officially
born on March 22, 1897, at Tejeros, San Francisco de Malabon in
Cavite. General Artemio Ricarte was named Captain General of the
Ejercito en la Republica de las Islas Filipinas or the revolutionary
Philippine Army. This date marks the founding day of the Philippine
Revolutionary Army (PRA).
 ORGANIZATION

The Philippine Army is headed by the Chief of the Army, attaining the

rank of Lieutenant General. He is assisted by the Vice-Commander of the
Philippine Army, and the Chief of Staff, Philippine Army in charge on
organizational and administrative matters, both holding the ranks of Major
General. The Philippine Army consists of 11 infantry divisions, 1 armor
division, 1 combined arms brigade, 1 artillery regiment, 5 engineering
