The Cadet Corps Armed Forces of the
Western Command Civil Military Office chief Lt. Col. Emmanuel A. Canilla said Friday that the program complements what they have inside the Academy that provides well-rounded exposure for the cadets to become future leaders of the country.
Canilla said the host parents program upholds its tradition to provide a transition of adjustment serving as a family other than the biological parents and siblings of the cadets.

The cadets, involving 219 incoming third class cadets of PMA Class 2017, will also conduct an orientation tour about the AFP unit in
