What is the medal around his neck?
I tried to find a better pic...no luck.
He wasn’t wearing it when he arrived (in Philippines), not on while at joint presser, only pics with it were “Reviewing the Troops”.
May be some “honorary order of the face shield” that Duarte gave him.
Bling-bling.

Looks to be some type of honorary award presented by the Philippine Department of National Defense (that’s the logo on the medallion). There is no military award that matches that design as near as I can figure.
