Medal[edit]

The medal is in the form of a cross in gold..[1] Superimposed in the center of a cross is a disc where a relief head of Gen Gregorio del Pilar is placed facing front.[1] The wreath made of light green laurel leaves superimposed the cross.[1] The cross signifies the risk of life while in combat; the disc with the head of General Del Pilar is for achievements that resulted in the wounding of an awardee by an armed enemy; the wreath symbolizes honor for such endeavor; and the green color stands for nobility and devotion to duty.[1]

Ribbon[edit]

The ribbon is white with purple stripe in the center.[1]
