Nanawagan si Pangulong Rodrigo R. Duterte noong Linggo sa mga bagong nagtapos ng Philippine Military Academy (PMA) na “be many things at the same time” habang tinitiyak na lagi silang nananatiling tapat sa kanilang sinumpaan.
Sa ginanap na commencement exercises ng Bagsik Diwa Class, ginawaran ni Duterte ng bahay at lupa si Cadet First Class Krystlenn Ivany Quemado na nanguna bilang class valedictorian sa 214 na mga mistah ng “Bagsik Diwa” Class of 2022.
Ginawaran din siya ng Presidential Saber, Philippine Navy Saber, medal for academic excellence, academic group award, Department of Humanities plaque, Department of Management plaque, Department of Social Sciences plaque, Department of Leadership plaque, Navy Professional Courses plaque, Joint US Military Award ng Assistance Group, award ng Association of Generals and Flag Officers, award ng Spanish Armed Forces, at award ng Australian Defense Best Overall Performance.
Si Quemado, na sasali sa Philippine Navy, ay ang ikapitong babae na nangunguna sa klase ng PMA mula nang magsimula itong tumanggap ng mga babaeng kadete noong 1993.
Ginawaran ni Duterte ang class na “goat” o isa na huling natapos sa overall ranking, si Cadet First Class Romulo Balabag Dawilan III, isang .45 caliber pistol.
Si Quemado ay mula sa Koronadal City, South Cotabato habang si Dawilan ay mula sa Sagada, Mountain Province.
President Rodrigo R. Duterte on Sunday called on new graduates of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) to “be many things at the same time” while ensuring they always remained true to their oath.
Speaking during the graduation rites of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) “Bagsik Diwa” class of 2022, Duterte said although there is “some degree of change or transformation” among the cadets, they remain rooted to the basic concept of “soldiering.”
