FILIPINO SHOULDER STRAP **
According to Perry / Pedro Antonio Valdez Javier a great scholar this shoulder rank existed as a customized rank after the Revolution itself. he says who many Revolutionary Veterans after the Revolution made several custom made epaulettes to make their uniform pretty to display, not necessary following the standard regulation nor part of the rank and insignias.
Veterans used to march at Luneta Grandstand during pre WW2 era or even after the WW2 era during our Independence Day celebration. They used to wear their original uniform & used to attached customize designs with mitiff of the Phil. Revolution.... .
Perry also says :
" On the book "Visions of the Possible" where it also shows an old original Filipino Rayadillo, but the attached collar insignias placed there on the uniform are not the unit insignias but rather the Coat of Arms of the Philippines design after WW2 with a shield on top contains the triangle with sun and 3 stars & the shield below on left color blue & right color red. This is an example also of a non regulation and non era design placed on the uniform".
