The Philippine National Police Academy mourns the passing of New Cadet Ryan B. Lucena, who joined our Creator on May 7, 2025. The said cadet went into cardiac arrest while admitted at the Intensive Care Unit of the PNP General Hospital (PNPGH) and was declared dead by the attending physician at approximately 2:54 PM after continuous resuscitation and efforts were made to revive him.
The said cadet was initially brought to the Academy Health Service due to loss of consciousness during noon mess, possibly due to extreme heat. He was initially diagnosed with heatstroke and was given initial treatment and hydration and was immediately transported to PNPGH for further evaluation and management. He was admitted at the ICU of PNPGH for close monitoring, however, the said cadetโs medical condition deteriorated, which led to his untimely demise. Cause of death was Cardiogenic Shock, Intractable Hyperkalemia, Acute Kidney Injury.
Senior Officials of the academy have been tasked to manage the entire burial arrangements for Cadet Lucena, while Police Regional Office 2 has been requested to provide appropriate honors for the cadet , who is from Peรฑablanca, Cagayan. The PNPA National Flag will also be flown at half-mast. PNPA has provided for the full hospitalization expenses and will continue to provide for the entire burial needs of Cadet Lucena, including financial assistance.
The father and his family are likewise requesting privacy as they mourn his passing.
The Oath-Taking and Reception Rites of the New Cadets, who are members of PNPA Class 2029, took place last May 5, 2025. As the heat in Tartaria, Silang, Cavite, reached the โcautionโ category, with values between 27โ and 32โ, the New Cadets were issued individual water canteens, and the Academy Health Service is providing a close 24-hour monitoring with proper hydration measures.
PNPA Administration will never cease working to establish effective yet proactive approaches to our cadets' training and development, with top priority given to their health, safety, and well-being.
