AN OPEN LETTER
To Rear Admiral Karl A. Decapia, PN
Commander, Naval Education and Training Command
Subject: Justice for Officer Candidate Aldwayne B. Dulnuan (NOCC Class 47)
Sir,
Aldwayne Bunoan Dulnuan entered your command with a dream of serving the nation. He left in a coffin.
His family deserves more than sympathy. They deserve the truth.
Serious questions have been raised about the events leading to his death, the conduct of the training, and the medical response that followed. These questions cannot be answered by silence or internal assurances alone. They require a credible, transparent, and impartial investigation.
If no mistakes were made, let the evidence speak. If there were lapses, no rank or position should place anyone above accountability.
Leadership is measured not only by how you train future officers, but by how you respond when one of them never makes it home.
We call on your command to preserve all evidence, protect all witnesses, disclose the facts, and ensure that justice is served.
This is not an attack on the Philippine Navy. It is a call to uphold its highest values—Honor, Courage, and Integrity.
Justice for Aldwayne Bunoan Dulnuan. No cover-ups. No excuses. Only the truth.
Philippine Navy
Education and Training Command, Philippine Navy
