From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 16): DND chief says Cadet Cudia will not graduate Sunday but case to be investigated by AFP chief
Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Voltaire Gazmin on Saturday announced that Cadet First Class Aldrin Jeff Cudia will not be graduating this Sunday.
Cudia is the cadet who was ordered dismissed from the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) after being found guilty of violating the provisions about lying in the school's "Honor Code".
However, Cudia's case was elevated to the Chief-of-Staff Armed Forces of the Philippines (CSAFP).
"The President and I met with the family of Cadet First Class Cudia and heard them out. They had appeals, requests, and also raised some issues. We made sure that they were given the opportunity to air their side. At the end of which, we recommended that they formalize their appeal, requests, and other concerns in writing," Gazmin stressed.
"It was agreed that Cadet First Class Cudia will not graduate Sunday, without prejudice to whatever will be the result of their new appeal, which is now elevated to the CSAFP whom the President directed to investigate," the DND chief added.
