MANILA, Philippines - Alarmed over the allegations of corruption in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) as exposed by Ret. Col. George Rabusa, the Philippine Military Academy Alumni Association (PMAAA) came out  with a manifesto of support for the on-going investigation of  the House and the Senate on the allegations of corruption in the military.

In their manifesto, they also said that they are supporting the initiatives of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of National Defense (DND) to create fact-finding and investigating bodies to address their concerns.

They also affirmed their continued support for the AFP leadership. and called on fellow PMA graduates to remain true and loyal to their sworn duties to the Filipino people and Constitution.

They also called on the media to be fair to all men in uniform, specially members of the PMA, not to generalize all PMA graduates because it is destroying not only the PMA as an institution but both the AFP and Philippine National Police.

The PNP under PMAyers is a corrupt, incompetent mess: bus hostage rescue fiasco, abusive generals, connivance with crime syndicates, carjackers running rampant, high profile cases dismissed by the courts because of police bungling of evidence, etc.. one can only wonder considering the supposed quality of education they received from the academy, not to mention the post graduate studies here and abroad.

how many UP ROTC generals committed plunder compared to PMA alumni in the AFP and PNP?

heck, there arent even UP ROTC generals today, the PMA Mafia doesn't give them any opportunity for promotion to higher, more influential ranks.

Haven’t you noticed that all military and police generals accused of corruption, past and present, all graduated from the Philippine Military Academy (PMA)?

It seems the PMA—whose motto is “courage, integrity, loyalty”—should exclude “integrity” in its motto since many of its graduates don’t have it.

Only PMA graduates become AFP chief of staff or chief of the PNP.

Name me one graduate of the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) who has become AFP chief of staff or PNP chief since the time of President Cory Aquino.

The AFP chief of staff or the PNP chief chooses “PMAyers” as members of his immediate staff—including officers who hold the purse strings—to succeed him.

That’s because of the so-called “PMA Mafia” that operates within the AFP and the PNP.

The PMA is a brotherhood, and if you’re a non-PMAyer you’re out of the loop and don’t have a chance to reach the highest post.

President Noy should give equal opportunity to non-PMAyers in the AFP or PNP, those who came from the ranks or graduates of ROTC, to become AFP or PNP chief.

I know many ROTC graduates who are as competent as—or better than—PMAyers.

If the President wants to break up the PMA Mafia, the cause of demoralization and corruption within the military and police organizations, he should appoint reserve officers to key positions that will give them a crack at the highest post in the AFP and PNP.

Non-PMAyers greatly outnumber the PMAyers in the military or police service.

tama si Tulfo, PMA is not doing this country any good, its graduates are a disgrace, nothing but opportunists and thieves!

These facts are indisputable. it is as real and true as the fact that the sun rises on east and set on the west.
