CAMP AGUINALDO, Quezon City – The AFP Chief of Staff, General Andres C Centino PA, served as the Guest of Honor and Speaker during the Recognition Rites of the Philippine Military Academy “Talang Dangal” Class of 2026 on Saturday, March 04, 2023, at Fort Del Pilar, Baguio City.
The CSAFP, who belongs to PMA “Maringal” Class of 1988, was welcomed by the Officers, Enlisted Personnel, Cadets, and Civilian Human Resources at the Academy under the leadership of PMA Superintendent LtGen Rowen S Tolentino PA.
In his remarks, the CSAFP addressed four audiences: the fourthclass cadets or plebes; the upperclass cadets; the families and loved ones of the plebes; and the entire PMA. As an alumnus of the Academy, he shared the same pride as a cadet 39 years ago and asked the 310 newly-recognized cadets to “manifest the level of maturity and sense of responsibility worthy of the trust and respect of your upperclassmen and mentors.”
“In the days ahead, we will ask even more of you, in the fortitude of spirit, keenness of mind, and generosity of camaraderie. But know that the more challenging the times become, the better prepared you will be for the demands and trials that await you once you are outside of the Academy,” as the CSAFP shared one of the most important plebe-knowledges that he kept to his heart, the poem “Don’t Quit.”
