US envoy joins cadets' fitness challenge

From Sun Star-Baguio (Dec 18): US envoy joins cadets' fitness challenge

US AMBASSADOR Harry Thomas Jr. is set to join a fitness program at Asia's premier military academy today, Tuesday. Thomas, with military officials from the US Embassy, will compete in a physical fitness challenge at the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) on December 18. The Embassy representatives will join newly installed PMA Superintendent Lieutenant General Irineo Espino and Assistant Superintendent Brigadier General Emeraldo Magnaye, Commandant of Cadets Brigadier General Carlos Quita, PMA administration, and numerous PMA cadets in a fitness challenge in the name of camaraderie.

Last month, Espino assumed his post as PMA top man. He was formerly at the helm of the Armed Forces of the Philippines as inspector general. Espino is a member of the PMA "Matapat" Class of 1979.

Thomas and participants from both sides will engage in a friendly push-up and sit-up competitions at PMA. The event will highlight the friendship between the Philippines and the United States and the continuing cooperation between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and their counterparts in the US Armed Services.
