From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 28): 1,450 examinees pass PMA entrance exams

Only 1,450 examinees -- 952 males and 498 females -- out of 12,195 applicants passed the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Cadet Qualification Test given last Aug. 25, PMA spokesperson Major Agnes Lynnette Flores announced on Friday.

Flores said of the 12,195 examinees, only 11,978 were able to complete the test which was held in 37 examination centers nationwide.

She said the next phase of the selection process for PMA Cadetship is the complete physical examination to be conducted at the Armed Forces of the Philippines Medical Center, where they will be made to undergo medical, psychological and physical examination to determine their fitness to undergo the four-year military training in the country's most prestigious military school.

After the series of examinations, the PMA Cadet Procurement Board will deliberate and select the most qualified candidates to compose PMA Class of 2018.

Flores said these individuals are expected to report to the PMA on April 1 for the oath-taking ceremony and reception rites.
