Ramon Galvezon was the class goat of PMA '40, yet he is the first to become a general.

He has been awarded as one of the Ten Outstanding Philippine Soldiers in 2004 and Cavalier Award for Army OPerations in 2005 (if am not mistaken). He's been winning awards, here and abroad, as member and sometimes trainer of the shooting team.

EV ESPIRITU/ INQUIRER NORTHERN LUZON FORT DEL PILAR, Baguio City�One dish that guests of newly commissioned Air Force 2nd Lt. Ernalyn Fernando can be sure of won�t be served when they attend her homecoming in Tabuk City in Kalinga province is goat meat. �We will slaughter a carabao, not a goat,� one of Fernando�s aunts said. Fernando made history on Sunday when she graduated from the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) with the distinction of finishing last among the academy�s 222 graduates, earning her the title of class �goat.� She was the first PMA female graduate to earn such a distinction 21 years after the PMA accepted women as students. The PMA has traditionally called the last placer among its graduates as �goat.� Loudest cheer Fernando was the last to be called among the graduating cadets and yet, as tradition dictates, she also drew the loudest cheer from her classmates and the crowd gathered at the Fajardo grandstand here. Past goats used to prepare a scene stealer�like giving a bouquet to the President, doing a handstand, bowing to the crowd or delivering a speech�but Fernando admitted she was still in shock over her being the goat. �I was No. 28 more than a week ago � I was a dean�s lister,� she said. Fernando said a single demerit brought her from 28th to 222nd. She declined to reveal the nature of that demerit. http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/586176/this-time-pma-goat-is-a-female

It was always stated the Pong Biazon was the Class goat of his Class '61 but actually Quote: When he graduated from the PMA, then Cadet First Class Rodolfo Gaspar Biazon from Batac, Ilocos Norte was number 46 in a class of 54 members. According to my friend and son of another member of PMA 61, Gen. Eduardo T. Cabanlig (Ret.), Amiel, the goat of PMA Class �61 was Cadet First Class David Espiritu. but actually was a Quote: �Turned back� is a term in the PMA which means that a cadet had to repeat another year due to deficiencies. Pong Biazon was an original member of Class �60 but due to academic deficiencies, he was turned back and became a member of Class �61. Yes, it�s true. I�m Proud of this Goat
