They will be allowed to take the PMAEE provided that they will graduate before April 1, 2018. PMAEE applicants will also come from college-level students and fourth-year high school graduates of the old curriculum.

“PMA is at the forefront of the AFP modernization program since its graduates are the ones to lead the Armed Forces in the years to come,” he said adding that Cadets are at the receiving end to the state-of-the-art training facilities and equipment in PMA.
