Andres passes PMA written exam

Daryll Andres of 12-Augustine is one of the 1,745 examinees who passed the 2017 Philippine Military Academy Entrance Examination (PMAEE) conducted last August.

Andres took the test in Tuguegarao City together with three other Aurora Senior High School students but it was only him who made the cut.

He will then go through the second and third phases in the PMA Cadetship selection process: Complete Physical and Medical Examination and Neuorological Examination. Afterwhich, he can finally be appointed as a member of the PMA Class of 2022.

Entering the military academy has been a dream for Andres. For him, this will also be a great help to his parents since he would be given full scholarship with monthly allowance if he ever gets appointed as a PMA cadet.
