Everyone should understand what it means to be a citizen, and ROTC will teach us. :army: Given the resources allocated for a full ROTC program (I'm referring to the old one) I'm more inclined to invest in a few good men. The mix should be geared to producing high quality officers who will go for a military career. Instead of spending money training thousands of students who do not want ROTC and will hardly ever be used we might as well spend most of that money on a few but quality products who will be committed to active duty service. The armed forces will be better off if the program can produce a couple of hundred well educated and well trained lieutenants who will serve at least eight years on active duty than thousands of would be "reservists" who are forced to go through ROTC. ROTC is not the only way to teach what it means to be a citizen.

I'm a great believer in decentralization, so such an academy ought to be established in either the Visayas or Mindanao. As far as geographical fairness is concerned, Baguio is a handy location for the northern part of the country and bit a distance away from the central and the south, but as far as the climate and temperature of the area, it's quite suitable for the rigid training and for the health of the cadets.

Baguio has a cool climate which makes most of the PMA cadets used to it. See them during the Independence Day parades many are collapsing. Matatag pa ang PMMA midshipmen and those from PNPA. For the Naval Academy, would suggest the National Maritime Polytechnic at Leyte. It was a training center for seafarers and well-funded by Japan. Due to it's far location most seafarers don't want to train there no matter how advance their equipments are. And I believe they are transferring to Cavite to be nearer to Metro Manila, the center for Seafarers recruitment. The Gov't should consider this place and it's along the sea and can accommodate training ships and the facilities are there. For the Airforce okay na sa Lipa or Clark, but as you said it need to decentralized so that leaves Mindanao.

You want it in Southern Mindanao like Rajah Buayan in South Cotabato where there are no typhoons. More flying days equals shorter training programs, learning continuity and much lower cost. Bet you didn't know that.

Is it raining bullets there instead?
