| The Philippine Military Academy,
founded in 1898, has remained true to
its mission
to produce men and women of virtue and character.
It has become today a dynamic force of change with
a proud heritage to cherish, a glorious tradition
to uphold, a noble standard to maintain, and a vital
mission to accomplish.
The PMA's mission is to "instruct, train and develop the cadets so
that each graduate shall possess the character,
the broad and basic military skills, and the education
essential to the successful pursuit of a progressive
military career."
A
premier military institution in the Philippines,
PMA continues to produce men and women who, with
the intense desire to serve and defend the country,
have become great leaders imbued with the virtues
of COURAGE, INTEGRITY, and LOYALTY.
Located at the City of Baguio, in the northern part
of the Philippines, the PMA comes closer to you through this web page. As you
browse through its landmarks, may you be encouraged
to pursue a career in the Armed Forces and become
one of its great Cavaliers. Or simply put, may you
be inspired by the virtues of the men and women
in the long gray line.
Listen to " PMA, Oh Hail to Thee":
Oh, proud and bold you stand!
Bright beacon of the land
Let loyal sons proclaim
Thy glorious name
Wherever we may be
O'er land or deep blue sea,
We'll raise a song to Thee,
Academy, Oh, Hail to Thee!
At every end of day
We hope and fervent pray
The honor you instill
Doth guide our will!
|
May Thy sons ever be
Men of INTEGRITY
COURAGE and LOYALTY,
PMA, Oh, Hail to Thee!
When bells for us are rung
And our last "taps" is sung
Let generations see
Our country free
Oh, lead to righteous way
Those solid ranks of gray
Thy virtues to display
Academy, Oh, Hail to Thee! |
