The Chief of Staff, Armed Forces of the Philippines may grant or award to any officer or enlisted personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines the Gold Cross for any gallant and valuable service rendered above and beyond the call of duty while serving in any position or unit of the AFP.

The performance of the officer's duty can be exceptional and highly regarded by both his colleagues, superiors, and the Philippine Republic as a whole, but may not merit the award of a Distinguished Conduct Star.

The accomplishments of such duty or duties should have been completed prior to submission of a recommendation, or the person being recommended for this award has duly been transferred prior to completion of the act, the accomplishment must have progressed to what may seem clearly to be determined as something exceptional or of significance to the Armed Forces of the Philippines or the Philippine Government.
