He said, he entered PMA for he felt he will affect many lives because the academy is training leaders. “They are training people to make a difference,” as quoted by ABS-CBN News.

Custorio said, the first main problem he encountered was language barrier, however, he made ways to cope up. He added that the instructors are teaching in a structured way.

According to him, it was not hard to fit in, “tatanggapin ka nila if you show respect to them, their history and tradition.”

There are now three PMAers studying at Korea Air Force Academy.
