case, must pass the PMA entrance exam, said PMA spokesperson Major Agnes Lynette
Flores.
Last year, cadet applicants reached about
14,500, the highest in PMA history.
Flores attributed the increase to reforms
in the PMA, such as the lowering of height requirement for both and female which
the military academy began to implement last year.
In 2012, there were 14,450 who took the
exams out of 22,754 applicants. The previous year, only 6,066 hopefuls took the
entrance test out of 20,211 applicants, Flores told INQUIRER.net.
Many applicants had been disqulified for
failing to meet the required 5’4″ height for male and 5’2″ for female, she said.
There are 350 slots up for grabs, and
successful applicants will be part of the Philippine Military Academy Class of
2018, who will be officially received in in an oath-taking ceremony and
reception rites on April 01, 2014.
