Adaci congratulated the cadets for being officially incorporated into the Cadet Corps of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

“The road to becoming an officer of the AFP is long, so I encourage you to face each obstacle with the conviction that you have what it takes to overcome them. Believe in yourselves, support one another, and uphold the values instilled in you at the academy.” he added during his remarks.
