6. EL ORO's Presidential Medals

From the 1950s up to the late 1980s,  EL ORO struck some of the finest Philippine Presidential medals.  “EL ORO” was owned by Jose Tupaz Jr. who once resided in Maria Clara Street, EL ORO their engraving company was located along Highway 54, now EDSA.  His company minted and engraved medals for President Magsaysay up to the time of President Cory Aquino. Those years were considered the golden years of Philippine medal workmanship. 

It was during the time of Marcos when “El Oro” made the best Philippine awards and medals. He became the official engraver of President Marcos producing thousands of medals, badges, pins, and souvenir items for the Philippine Government.  He made Presidential decorations and awards, inauguration medals, police badges, coin patterns, commemorative government and civic medals, and military decorations and awards.  During the latter part of the 80s, the official engraver was changed and saw the decline of Philippine medals being produced. 

Below are some EL ORO medals that I collected.

Carlos P. Garcia,  4th President of the Republic
Diosdado Macapagal,  5th President of the Republic
