Seventeen cadets of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA)
ended a week-long "stay-in" visit at the Army's 4th Infantry
Division, a military officer said Friday.
Capt. Norman Tagros, spokesperson of the Army's 8th Infantry
Battalion (8IB), said the visit also known as "on-the-job training"
(OJT) ended at the 8IB here Wednesday since the cadets reported on Feb. 27,
2016.
He said the five-day visit was intended to familiarize the
cadets on the operations of the battalion and to enable them to gain experience
of becoming an army officer.
Tagros said the cadets mingled with the officers and
enlisted personnel noting that it was the first time in many years that PMA
cadets were allowed to have their OJT in Mindanao
area.
He said the 17 cadets are among the 34 members of PMA
"Gabay-Laya" Class of 2016 who would be joining the Philippine Army
after graduation in March this year.
Lt. Col. Lennon Babilonia, commanding officer of the 8IB,
said the OJT in Mindanao , particularly in
Bukidnon was a very rare opportunity for the PMA cadets to be allowed to stay
with the army battalion.
