The Distinguished Service Star - Obverse.
The Distinguished Service Star holds the position as the third highest military honor within the Armed Forces of the Philippines. It is bestowed in recognition of exceptionally meritorious and valuable contributions made while holding significant positions of responsibility.
The award is worn suspended from the neck, secured by a ribbon featuring a dark blue hue with a prominent red vertical stripe at its center. Resembling a five-pointed star, the medal features a central disc showcasing the Coat of Arms of the Philippines. Above the seal, an arc-shaped golden scroll bears the inscription “Merit.”
A wreath composed of twenty-six dark green leaves and ten white buds attaches the star to its ribbon. Engraved on the reverse side of the medal are the words “For Distinguished Service.”
