LINGAYEN, Pangasinan --“Dream big and never
stop dreaming.”
This was imparted by Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. before
this year’s graduates of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) and some members
of the lower class who are from Pangasinan when they paid a courtesy call on
him on March 18.
The governor, who is a member of Class Masigasig in 1972,
commended the Sinaglahi Class of 2015 as he rekindled precious memories in his
stint in the PMA.
He was a member of the so-called “Pangasinan Military
Academy
Espino said that the PMA was the best institution in the
country where everything was provided and discipline was best learned.
Furthermore, the provincial chief executive urged the latest
batch of PMA graduates to stand firm and faithful even as he revealed that
frustrations may come, citing for example the Mamasapano tragedy where lives
were sacrificed.
Citing his experience as a military man to include the ups
and downs, Espino challenged the younger "mistahs" to give their best
shot.
“Whatever your ranking inside the academy will no longer be
important because your performance outside the institution is more valuable
now,” he said.
Meanwhile, Ret. Col. Mariano “Sonny” Verzosa who belongs to
Class ’84, congratulated the new batch of PMA graduates as well as the members
of the lower class for giving honor to the province.
Verzosa urged all young Pangasinense "mistahs" to
continue reaping accomplishments for the province and join hands with other
institutions and the government to usher in genuine development for the
province.
In return, Lt. Benjamin John P. Cantor, Sinaglahi Class 2015
rank 14 from Bugallon town, spoke on behalf of the group as he pledged to
render quality service to the country.
Other class members who paid courtesy call on the governor
were Jomel G. Banila of Dasol; Robert Royce De Guzman, Bayambang; Jeffrey
Ladislao, Binmaley; Danjo Lagula, Natividad; Orlando Lictawa, San Quintin;
Leonard Allan Gacayan, Binalonan; Keith John Pascua, Mangatarem; Giovanni
Payomo, Sual; Jefferson Sacopla, Mangatarem; and Kelvin Verzosa, Labrador.
Joining the governor in welcoming the PMAers were Police
Supt. Reynaldo Biay, Laoac Mayor Silverio Alarcio, Col. Carlos Resurrecion,
Major Ryan Celino and Col. Popoy Oro, who are all graduates of the PMA.
