From InterAksyon (Mar 20): Cudia fails to secure TRO on his dismissal, high court orders PMA, AFP to comment on cadet's plea

Cadet First Class Aldrin Jeff Cudia's failed to secure a temporary restraining order (TRO) from the Supreme Court t to stop his expulsion from the Philippine Military Academy (PMA).

Instead, the high tribunal's third division chaired by Justice Presbitero Velasco ordered the PMA and the Armed Forces of the Philippines to comment on Cudia's petition within 10 days.

Cudia, supposedly the salutatorian of his class, was expelled and not allowed to graduate for allegedly breaking the PMA's honor code. He was dismissed from the academy for allegedly lying about the reason why he had come late for class for two minutes.

In his March 10 petition for a TRO or a status quo ante order, Cudia asked the high court to nullify the proceedings done by his peers because of grave abuse of discretion.

Cudia claimed that by pressuring a cadet to vote for his dismissal, PMA's Honor Committee was able to manipulate the result of the voting to 9-0 from 8-1.

On Monday, March 17, Cudia left the PMA in Fort del Pilar, Baguio City several hours after the graduation of the “Siklab Diwa” Class of 2014.
