SEE March 12, 2011, 6:25pm FORT DEL PILAR, Baguio City, Philippines – Newly installed Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff Gen. Eduardo Oban, Jr. wants the immediate implementation of the changes in the curriculum of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in order to develop dynamic and responsible young military officers who will be able to improve the image of the AFP amid the alarming controversies that are now hounding the image of the military. While the proposed changes in the PMA curriculum is still in the process of approval, Oban, a member of PMA Class of 1979, said he is favorably considering the implementation of the changes which form part of his advocacy to institute change in the affairs of the military that will help in instilling a paradigm shift in the country’s military force. The AFP chief was the presiding officer in the turnover of command of the premier military school in Asia from retiring Superintendent Vice Admiral Leonardo C. Calderon, Jr. to his successor, Brig. Gen. Nonato Alfredo Peralta, Jr., who was the former commandant of cadets of the Academy. In his tour of duty report to Oban, Calderon emphasized the need to implement drastic changes in the Academy’s curriculum in order to mold upcoming young military officers to put to real practice the Academy’s core values of courage, integrity and loyalty as well as to inculcate in them the importance of a true Filipino soldier worthy of being emulated. Under the new PMA curriculum, the core values of courage, integrity and loyalty will be incorporated and taught in every subject in the four-year curriculum to constantly remind the upcoming military officers of their greater responsibility once they are deployed in their respective fields of assignment. Furthermore, values education will also be part of the curriculum to teach the cadets appropriate moral values that will be their guideposts in discharging their functions once they move out from the Academy and confront the challenges that will come their way in their military career. http://mb.com.ph/articles/308990/afp-chief...-pma-curriculum

Napakababa talaga ng charisma ng general nayun, at marami pa dyan lalo na kung nagiingles sila... mabuti sana kung ang ingles nila eh dretso at napakalinaw....

Sir S, maybe it should have been "No point or pointless" instead of West Point, pointless for FVR to go there.. Maybe Much better if he just went to Chinese Military Academy!
