I will graduate in June 2015 but I need to enter PMA that April,” Sugui said.
Traditionally, the delegation of Cagayan Valley would include a brass band which would play whenever a graduate from Region II was called. Sugui said that she was clueless about the PMA when she entered in 2016, and that the first two months – known as the beast barracks – shook her from her usual life of a youngest child who depended on her parents for her whims.Although there are only 23 females in the class, 5 of them made it to the Top Ten.Like Sugui, the class salutatorian is a son of a farmer and a public school teacher.
He said that his parents were not keen on letting him enter the academy, and that his mother told him that he could already teach. Also joining the Army, Villanueva will receive the Vice Presidential Saber, General Antonio Luna Award, AGFO Award for Leadership Plaque, Australian Defense Best Overall Performance Award, Army Professional Course Plaque, and Humanities Plaque.Third in the class is Cadet 1st Class Jefferson Yamson Salazar from Sanat Catalina, Zamboanga City.Zamboanga Siege in 2013“I was still in college when it happened and we became evacuees. My barangay was in ruins,” he recalled.
