Original Item. Only One Available. The Philippine Congressional Medal was a service medal of the United States Army which was established by the United States Congress on 9 July 1906. The medal recognized those soldiers who had enlisted in the United States Army for the purpose of the serving in the Philippine–American War.

The four primary criteria, to be awarded the Philippine Congressional Medal, were as follows:

- Enlisted between 21 April and 26 October 1898
- Served beyond 11 April 1899
- Served in the Philippines after 6 July 1899
- Received an honorable discharge (or died prior to being discharged)

The medal was different from the Philippine Campaign Medal in that the Philippine Campaign Medal recognized general service in the Philippines while the Philippine Congressional Medal was intended for special services rendered.

The Philippine Congressional Medal was considered an authorized military decoration, but soon became regarded as a commemorative medal since it recognized a single event and also was not eligible for presentation to the United States Navy and Marine Corps.
