The Philippine Military Academy will be conducting the PMA Entrance Examination on August 25, 2013 in thirty-seven (37) examination centers all through-out the country. The PMA Entrance Exam is the first stage in the selection process for cadetship in the premier leadership training school in the country.
This year, PMA will now be accepting interested applicants with a minimum height of 5 feet, both for male and female. The lowering of the height requirement from 5 feet and 4 inches for male and 5 feet and 2 inches for female, is expected to bring about increase in the number of applicants. The changes in the minimum height requirement came about when it was observed during the conduct of the Limited Physical Examination (LPE) in the different exam centers, that many were denied the chance to go through the first phase of the selection process, solely for the reason of not meeting the height requirement. With the previous height requirement, many Filipino youth, who have a good educational background and are physically fit, are disenfranchised from the opportunity of being able to take entrance examination. With the adjustment made in the height requirement, PMA will be increasing the pool where the best candidate for PMA cadetship will be selected.
To address one of the major issues that usually deter interested applicants from entering the Academy, the PMA has made a firm stand on its policy against maltreatment in the Cadet Corps, Armed Forces of the Philippines (CCAFP). PMA advocates “Zero Tolerance to Maltreatment.” The Academy is aggressively implementing a “NO-MALTREATMENT POLICY” among the cadets. PMA adheres to the respect of human rights, and observance of the principles of International Humanitarian Law and the rule of law.
Other requirements for admission in the Philippine Military Academy are the following: Natural-born Filipino citizen, physically fit and of good moral character, single and has never been married, at least high school graduate, no administrative/criminal case, must pass the PMAEE, and should have been born from April 01, 1992 to April 01, 1997.
Being a PMA cadet gives an individual a noble privilege in serving the country. One is able to avail of a free college education with a well-rounded curriculum, as well as, receive monthly pay and allowances. After graduating from the Academy, one is guaranteed a progressive career as an officer in the Army, Navy or Air Force.
Successful applicants will compose the PMA Class 2018 who will be officially received in the Academy in an Oath-Taking Ceremony and Reception Rites on April 01, 2014.
In Pangasinan, the examination center will be at University of Pangasinan-PHINMA, in Dagupan City. All interested applicants are advised to be at the Testing Center by 7:00 in morning of August 25, 2013 bringing with them the following: 2 pieces 2X2 pictures, 2 pieces Number 2 Pencils, NSO authenticated Birth Certificate, their Form 137 and Valid Identification Card.
