The Order of Sikatuna ({{langx|fil|Orden ng Sikatuna}}) 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.

The Order of Sikatuna may be awarded by the Secretary of Foreign Affairs in the name and by authority of the President.

History

The Order of Sikatuna was established by President Elpidio Quirino through Executive Order No. 571 dated February 27, 1953.{{cite web|title=Executive Order No. 571, February 27, 1953: Creating a Decoration to Be Known As the Order of Sikatuna|url=http://elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocs/5/34402|publisher=Supreme Court E-Library|access-date=January 7, 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://www.medals.org.uk/philippines/philippines013.htm |title=ODM of The Philippines: Order of Sikatuna |publisher=Medals.org.uk |date=February 27, 1953 |access-date=May 16, 2015}} Section 2 of the executive order states, "The Order of Sikatuna [...] commemorates the first treaty (Pacto de Sangre) between the Philippines and a foreign country..." In the Quirino order, the Order of Sikatuna commemorates the pacto de sangre or blood compact, more popularly known as sandugo. This was, according to the Executive Order, the first international treaty of friendship between Bohol native chieftain, Datu Sikatuna and Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi, between a Filipino and Spaniard. Lately, however, the Executive Order's premise has been put to question. The event was not the first blood compact since the first recorded happened 44 years before between Ferdinand Magellan, representing the Spanish crown, and raia Siaiu, king of the island-port of Mazaua. Magellan called the ceremony "casi casi", a Malayan term meaning "to be one and the same thing" or to be blood brothers.{{cite web|url=http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=philamer;cc=philamer;q1=casi%20casi;rgn=full%20text;idno=ATD7328.0033.001;didno=ATD7328.0033.001;view=image;seq=00000119|title=The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898 : explorations by early navigators, descriptions of the islands and their peoples, their history and records of the Catholic Missions, as related in contemporaneous books and manuscripts, showing the political, economic, commercial and religious conditions of those islands from their earliest relations with European nations to the beginning of the nineteenth century / edited and annotated by Emma Helen Blair and James Alexander Robertson, with historical introduction and additional notes by Edward Gaylord Bourne ; translated from the originals. [Vol. 33, no. 1]|work=Umich.edu|access-date=March 30, 2015}} At the same time the first recorded Treaty of Peace was entered into on Tuesday, April 9, 1521, by datu Humabon of Cebu and Magellan.{{cite web|url=http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=philamer&cc=philamer&idno=afk2830.0001.033&q1=Laghan&frm=frameset&view=image&seq=153|title=The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803; explorations by early navigators, descriptions of the islands and their peoples, their history and records of the Catholic missions, as related in contemporaneous books and manuscripts, showing the political, economic, commercial and religious conditions of those islands from their earliest relations with European nations to the beginning of the nineteenth century; [Vol. 1, no. 33]|work=Umich.edu|access-date=March 30, 2015}}

The Order of Sikatuna's composition was expanded from the original four classes by Presidents Diosdado Macapagal and again by Ferdinand E. Marcos.{{cite web|title=Executive Order No. 24, October 19, 1962|url=http://elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocs/5/34931|publisher=Supreme Court E-Library|access-date=January 7, 2016}}{{cite web|title=Executive Order No. 174, February 26, 1969|url=http://elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocs/5/34974|publisher=Supreme Court E-Library|access-date=January 7, 2016}} In 2003, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo reformed the Philippine system of orders, medals, and decorations, through Executive Order No. 236, known as the Honors Code of the Philippines which codified the civilian orders, decorations and medals of the Republic of the Philippines.{{cite web|title=Executive Order No. 236, September 19, 2003: Establishing the Honors Code of the Philippines to Create an Order of Precedence of Honors Conferred and For Other Purposes|url=http://elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocs/5/5493|publisher=Supreme Court E-Library|access-date=January 7, 2016}} Among its provisions was one renaming the order as simply, "The Order of Sikatuna," and clarifying its protocolar standing.
