Album Info:

On 05 May 1947, the Academy reopened at Camp Henry T Allen. Due to the need for wider grounds, the Academy moved to its present site at Fort del Pilar in Loakan, some ten kilometers from downtown Baguio City. Fort del Pilar, named after the young hero of the battle of Tirad Pass, Gen Gregorio del Pilar, was developed into a military training institution with facilities and infrastructure required by a growing academy. Its pre-war, technically-oriented curriculum (having been patterned after that of the US Military Academy at West Point) was restored. In the 1960s, the curriculum underwent major changes, as socio-humanistic courses were added or strengthened to balance the techno-scientific disciplines, with a view towards providing a well-rounded education that was relevant to the needs of the growing AFP. In 1993, the Philippine Military Academy was transformed into a �Tri-Service Academy', which introduced specialized, branch-of-service-specific courses in the last two years of training, thus eliminating or reducing the in-service training required to prepare fresh PMA graduates for their specific branch of service. The motivation for the Tri-Service concept was for PMA graduates to be �field-ready', �fleet-ready' or �squadron-ready' immediately upon graduation. In the same year, the first female cadets were admitted into the Academy in accordance with Republic Act 7192. Today, the Academy strives to epitomize the finest traditions of the service. It bears the standards of character founded on honor and fortified by discipline. It is a school, which has trained men for a hundred years in the defense of the state and furtherance of peace and order. It has a proud heritage to cherish, a glorious tradition to uphold, a noble standard to maintain, and a vital mission to accomplish. (Taken from http://www.pma.ph/about.htm)
