5 women make up the top 10 of the graduating class of the Philippine Military Academy. Full story:
But since 2017, there were 3 women valedictorians. That year, Navy Ensign Rovi Mariel Valino Martinez topped the PMA Salaknib Class of 2017. Seven other women made it to the top 10.
“Whenever I see uniformed personnel, na-a-amaze ako. Part of me wants to be a part of the military,” she said. One of Sugui’s major influences in life, however, is Lieutenant Colonel Leah Lorenzo-Santiago, who belongs to the mythical Magnificent Seven of 1997. Although Santiago was not the valedictorian, she finished as summa cum laude and was the first woman to command a field artillery battalion in the Philippine Army. The second-highest ranking female in the Masidlawin Class is Rojes Gaile Bacud Jamandre of Lamut, Ifugao. Like Sugui, Jamandre is also a farmer’s daughter and will also join the Army.
Tabao said that when she was on her 2nd and 3rd year at PMA, she was offered to go to a foreign military school but she refused. Her father is a serviceman and her elder brother is also with the Army, so joining the PMA was natural for her.Factor said that her faith in God made her survive her 4 years at PMA.Rounding up the top 10 is CFC Dencel Aina Mendoza Bayaca, a Kapampangan from Floridablanca.
