Philippine Military Academy

As an American I found it so interesting that we were allowed to come on campus and observe different practices at the Philippines Military academy. We watched the students marching in formation and being inspected by their superiors. The PMA is the equivalent of our West Point Academy, and where the finest soldiers go for their education. We were able to watch from a covered grand stand at the field.

There is a very nice museum a short walk from the field that gives the history of the Academy, explains military symbols, shows what their dorm rooms look like, how the uniforms have changed over the last 100 years, and explains the history of the academy and some of their heroes.
