Constabulary and INP awards/decorations are authorized for PNP Personnel had they been assigned with the Philippine Constabulary and the INP prior to the transition.

Awards and Decorations of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology

After the creation of the PNP Act of 1991 transferred control of the Philippine National Police, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, and the BFP Bureau of Fire Protection from the Armed Forces to the Department of the Interior and Local Government, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology established its own system of awards and decorations modeled on the PNP.

Dormant orders and awards

The consolidation of the Philippine honors system in 2003 led to the government discontinuing of the awarding of many honors. These honors and awards shall remain extant during the lifetime of the last holder of the respective awards, and shall continue to enjoy the rights and privileges thereof. Upon the death of the last living recipient, the respective affected awards shall cease to exist and be discontinued.
