Remembering Reception Day in 1974

As a tribute to my alma mater, the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), allow me to repost an article on a unique event some 51 years ago, Reception Day, when the PMA Class of 78 first set foot on the Academy. On that memorable day, the new members of the Makatarungan Class of 78 would cease being civilians and take a new journey toward becoming young military professionals imbued with the Academy’s ‘Courage, Integrity and Loyalty’.

  1. Thanks for the post, Charly, I enjoyed the accompanying article the first time I read it and got new insight this time. Brings back memories of my wonderful late brother, Garry, USMA Class of ’72 and the letters he used to write to me when I was in NROTC at Oregon State.

    1. Thanks much for the encouraging words, Don. Maybe you can write more about your brother. I’d love to know more about him. I’m sure there will be many parallels I can relate to. Cheers, my friend!
