    History
    In 1935, the Commonwealth Government passed a National Defense Act
    which aimed to ensure the security of the country. However it discounted
    the need for a Commonwealth air force and navy, and naval protection was
    provided by the United States Asiatic Fleet. During WW II, after Pearl
    Harbor, the Philippines had to rely on their Offshore Patrol to repel
    Japanese attacks from the sea. In 1945, the Offshore Patrol was reactivated
    and was strengthened in 1947 after President Manuel Roxas had issued
    Executive Order No. 94. This order elevated the Patrol to a major
    command that was equal with the Philippine Army, Constabulary, and Air
    US-Navy Seal
    Force. The Patrol was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol.
    In 1950, a Marine battalion was created and the next year, President Elpidio Quirino issued Executive
    Order No. 389, re-designating the Philippine Naval Patrol as the Philippine Navy.
    Seal: Azure, an anchor per bend sinister charged with a sealion proper, surrounded by a bordure Argent surrounded on
    both sides with a cable and with the legend HUKBONG
    DAGAT PILIPINAS (Philippine Naval Forces) in blue
    lettering, and two stars Or.
    See illustration in the head of this section.
    The original version (1950) shows two anchors in saltire
    charged with a disc with two armed sea-lions respecting, all
    in navy-blue color.
