As the academy calls for applicants for the 2013 PMA Entrance Examination (PMAEE), the implementation of the “No Maltreatment” and the “Zero Tolerance to Maltreatment” policies are also being laid down as the law.
PMA information chief Agnes Lynette Flores said the academy “adheres to the respect of human rights, and observance of the principles of International Humanitarian Law and the rule of law.”
The PMAEE is set on August 25 in 37 examination centers all over the country. The exam is the first stage in the selection process for cadetship.
Hazing is one of the major issues deterring interested applicants from entering the Academy. “The PMA has made a firm stand on its policy against maltreatment in the Cadet Corps, Armed Forces of the Philippines (CCAFP),” Flores said.

The applicants must pass the PMA Cadet Qualification Test (PMACQT) which covers Algebra and Geometry, Grammar and Composition, Reading and Comprehension, Verbal and Numerical Reasoning and Pattern Analysis before they will be able to proceed to the next phase of cadet selection which is the Complete Physical Examination (CPE).
