The group is composed of 49 males and 18 females who have

O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac.
More or less 40 percent of the graduates are former enlisted

One of the graduates is former Police Office 1 of the
Philippine National Police.
The graduation ceremony was graced by PA commander Lt. Gen.
Eduardo M. Año.
He also encouraged the new lieutenants to harness the
knowledge, skills, experience, and wisdom that they have acquired in the
training.
“Your new responsibility demands your strength, commitment
to service, and readiness to sacrifice oneself in the fulfillment of your duty,”
Año said.
“As platoon leaders, in your hands lie the responsibility
not only of leading our troops in the accomplishment of your missions but also
of taking an active role in bringing the PA closer to its vision of becoming a
world-class Army that is a source of national pride,” he added.
