AFP Chief-of-Staff, Gen. Benjamin Madrigal, and Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana awarded the AFP Meritorius Achievement Medal to Paquiao for his triumphant defense of the WBA "regular" welterweight world title against Broner last January 19 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The AFP also granted the senator an honorary membership in the Philippine Army Scout Ranger.
