two young lieutenants did not render salute to the commander-in-chief? Huh, bad sign. Remember the saying, " If you will Start gud, you will end gud. But if you will start bad, you will end bad" :thumb: |

Philippine Air Force chief Lieutenant General Horacio Tolentino confirmed Air Force Second Lieutenant Ariel Toledo's passing, but he could not give further details. "Yes, he passed away at about 6:45 p.m.," Tolentino said in a text message. "Up to the last minute, he was trying to fight the cancer. The will to live was quite evident on him. I salute him," he added. Toledo's cause of death was not immediately known. It was also not clear whether he expired at the Armed Forces of the Philippines Medical Center in Quezon City, where he has been confined. |

PMA 2006 valedictorian loses bout with cancer 09/06/2007 | 08:53 AM GMANews.tv Air Force 2nd Lieutenant Ariel Toledo, last year's valedictorian at the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), died Wednesday night, about five months after his "mistah" or classmates learned that he was suffering from liver cancer. "The corpse is still in V. Luna. He expired at around 7 p.m. We will still find out from the family of the plan [for the wake and burial]," said Air Force spokesman Col. Epifanio Panzo. Panzo said Toledo had been fighting cancer, but added that the Air Force has yet to speak with the attending physician about the details of the soldier's death. Toledo graduated at the top of the PMA 2006 Mandirigmang Dangal ng Lahi (Mandala) class. He was found to be suffering from bile duct cancer and needed to undergo stem cell therapy costing millions of pesos. |

REVEILLE A commanding officer stays with his troops By Ramon J. Farolan Inquirer Last updated 01:03am (Mla time) 09/10/2007 MANILA, Philippines - Last year, we marked the golden anniversary of our graduation from the Philippine Military Academy. Center stage was shared with the class of 2006, the 324-strong batch with the largest number of women graduates. It was as though we were watching our own sons and daughters marching in formation, ready to assume their places in the long grey line that now stretches from one end of the parade ground to the other, practically covering Borromeo Field. In the history of the PMA, perhaps no class has suffered so many casualties in so short a period of time. Barely a year after graduation, four of its members would fall to enemy fire. A fifth—its Presidential Sabre awardee for graduating at the head of the class—would fight a losing battle against disease. In the end, PAF Lt. Ariel Toledo of Sto. Domingo, Ilocos Sur, would not be able to survive the onslaughts of an enemy that has long been the scourge of mankind. A newspaper (not the Inquirer) identified him as “the first Ilocano to become the topnotcher at the PMA.” To be fair, there were others from the region who graduated at the head of their classes several years before Toledo. In our batch, the Class of 1956, Jose C. Bello of Candon, Ilocos Sur, finished as the class valedictorian. Nevertheless, we too join his fellow Ilocanos in mourning the loss of a young man whose life held so much promise not only for his family but also for the nation. On a personal note, the Mandala Class of 2006 has a special place in my heart. In 2003, Maj. Gen. Melchor Rosales, now an interior undersecretary, was the superintendent of the Philippine Military Academy. He invited me to address the corps of cadets after a parade and review. At that time, the Class of 2006 made up the plebe component of the corps. In June 2005, Lt. Gen. Cristolito Balaoing, the PMA superintendent, would also invite me as the guest of honor during Incorporation Day rites at Fort Del Pilar. This time the Class of 2006 provided the officers commanding the brigade of cadets. I wish to thank General Rosales and General Balaoing for their kind and generous invitation for me to speak before the cadets and to partake of the same simple meal that I used to have many years ago, surrounded by the young men who will some day lead our Armed Forces. My special thanks also goes to former AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Efren Abu who I know was instrumental in my visit to the academy in 2005. General Abu is now a special envoy to the Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines-East Asian Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA). In the case of General Balaoing, I am informed that he has not been in the best of health during the past few months. I wish him a safe and speedy recovery. * * * http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinio...rticle_id=87598 |

Army official killed in scuffle with fellow soldier in Surigao 10/28/2008 | 08:39 PM MANILA, Philippines - A young Army lieutenant was killed while another one was wounded Sunday in a scuffle with fellow soldiers in Placer town, Surigao del Norte, reports reaching Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City said. Killed in the incident was 2Lt. Albert Amat, a graduate of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in 2006, while the injured soldier was identified as 2Lt. Joe Patrick Martinez, who just graduated from the same academy last March. The report said the incident started at about 9 p.m. last Sunday at the headquarters of the Army’s 30th Infantry Battalion located at Sta. Cruz village when Amat punched T/Sgt. Neptael Maglangit, who was reportedly drunk. As Maglangit recovered, Amat drew a pistol, leading to a scuffle for the firearm. “During the scuffle, around 20 30th IB personnel who have not yet been identified, simultaneously fired shots in the air… while shouting ‘Hoo, di tama yan’ (That’s not right) and other vindictives,” the report said. Amat and Martinez were rushed to the Miranda Medical Hospital in Surigao City, but Amat was pronounced dead on arrival. Maglangit, meanwhile, went to Placer police station on board his motorcycle and surrendered himself for an investigation. Major Randolph Cabangbang, spokesman for the military’s Eastern Mindanao Command, said they are already investigating the incident following reports that Amat and Maglangit had a long standing feud. “Eastmincom has ordered a probe on the incident. Immediately after the incident, we ordered an investigation and a inspector general team from the 4th Infantry Division is already there since yesterday (Monday),” Cabangbang said. Cabangbang said that apart from Maglangit, other soldiers are being investigated for the incident, and that their firearms will be subjected to ballistic examination. - GMANews.TV http://www.gmanews.tv/story/129963/Army-of...dier-in-Surigao |

 Rest in peace, Cpt Clinton Capio (PMA Class 2006), 1st Special Forces Company, Philippine Army. Capio and his soldiers were closing in for an assault when he was hit by enemy fire. Capio was killed by grazing shot to his right temple, barely a centimeter from the cover of his Kevlar helmet, during a nine-hour firefight last 12 January 2017 in Sumisip, Basilan. Our deepest condolences and sympathies to the family of CPT CAPIO. #Salute to the Fallen TAPS
