In celebration of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Alumni Homecoming 2024, I am reblogging last year’s article on our special anniversary journey back to our beloved alma mater. So much to be thankful for, most especially for inculcating the virtues of Courage, Integrity and Loyalty, values that have guided me in navigating life’s challenges with grace; principles that have helped me contribute in my own small way to the creation of a more just, honorable and harmonious world. My snappy salute to you!!!

And you too. Thanks for sharing your post about your parents. I was so happy to look at it. I lived a whole lifetime vicariously through your father. 🙂

i wouldn’t be alive today if my dad and mom had not put their foot down to defy the world. it was a ‘you and me against the world’ situation for them at that time.

Charley, just as I have the utmost respect for my brother’s and his classmates’ service after they graduated from the USMA at West Point in 1972, I salute you for your discipline, hard work and loyal service to your country for graduation from the PMA, then your long military service and your continuing good work to make the world a better place. Blessings to you and your family.
