Plan to fence, upgrade PMA facilities now in the works

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 11): Plan to fence, upgrade PMA facilities now in the works

The Philippine Military Academy (PMA) is developing a plan which will fence and upgrade the dilapidated facilities of the country's premier military school.

The Department of National Defense (DND), in Tuesday's budget hearing at the House of Representatives, stated that there is a need to fence the PMA's 300-hectare complex to prevent squatters from encroaching.

The DND is requesting a budget of Php141.85 billion for 2015.

Aside from fencing, the plan will also upgrade worn and dilapidated barracks, school rooms and offices, in order to make it more conducive for the study and training of military cadets.

The DND said that PMA development plan will be out by December.

It also expressed hope that Congress will provide the necessary funds needed for the PMA upgrade.
