The rank of First Master Chief Petty Officer in the Armed Forces of the Philippines has been passed in a bill filed by Senator Rodolfo Biazon back in July 2004. It is expected that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will sign it very soon, enabling the rank to be created. Unlike its brother rank, the rank of First Chief Master Sergeant, the rank of First Master Chief Petty Officer will be created in the Philippine Navy since the former is for the Philippine Army.

Famous quotes containing the words master, chief, petty and/or officer:
“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
“Even if matter could do every outward thing that God does, the idea of it would not work as satisfactorily, because the chief call for a God on modern men’s part is for a being who will inwardly recognize them and judge them sympathetically. Matter disappoints this craving of our ego, so God remains for most men the truer hypothesis, and indeed remains so for definite pragmatic reasons.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“But each day brings its petty dust
Our soon-choked souls to fill,
And we forget because we must,
And not because we will.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“There was something so free and self-contained about him, something in the young fellow’s movements, that made that officer aware of him. And this irritated the Prussian. He did not choose to be touched into life by his servant.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
