THE Philippine Military Academy (PMA) has assured
its applicants that there will be no maltreatment inside its hallowed walls.
As the academy calls for applicants for the 2013 PMA Entrance Examination (PMAEE), the implementation of the “No Maltreatment” and the “Zero Tolerance to Maltreatment” policies are also being laid down as the law.
PMA information chief Agnes Lynette Flores said the academy “adheres to the respect of human rights, and observance of the principles of International Humanitarian Law and the rule of law.”
The PMAEE is set on August 25 in 37 examination centers all over the country. The exam is the first stage in the selection process for cadetship.
Hazing is one of the major issues deterring interested applicants from entering the Academy. “The PMA has made a firm stand on its policy against maltreatment in the Cadet Corps, Armed Forces of the Philippines (CCAFP),” Flores said.
Requirements for admission in the Philippine Military Academy are the following: Natural-born Filipino citizen, physically fit and of good moral character, single and has never been married, at least high school graduate, minimum of 5’0 but not to exceed 6’4 for both male and female, no administrative/criminal case, must pass the PMAEE, and should be born from April 01, 1992 to April 01, 1997.
The applicants must pass the PMA Cadet Qualification Test (PMACQT) which covers Algebra and Geometry, Grammar and Composition, Reading and Comprehension, Verbal and Numerical Reasoning and Pattern Analysis before they will be able to proceed to the next phase of cadet selection which is the Complete Physical Examination (CPE). In the said phase they will undergo medical and physical fitness test to comply with the requirements for the military training they will undergo in the Academy.
Successful applicants will compose the PMA Class
2018 who will be officially received in the Academy in an oath-taking ceremony
and reception rites on April 1, 2014.
