### PMA Siklab-Laya Class of 2025 Top Cadets Announced
The Philippine Military Academy (PMA) proudly revealed the top cadets of the Siklab-Laya Class of 2025 last Thursday. Leading the list is the Cadet First Class who achieved the highest honors in the academy’s history.
### From Humble Beginnings to Academic Excellence
This top cadet faced many challenges, especially financial difficulties. Coming from a family where the mother earns by selling ball pens and envelopes, and the father is currently recovering from a disability, the cadet’s journey was far from easy. Despite these hardships, determination and resilience became the driving forces behind this outstanding achievement.
“My family’s situation motivated me to push harder and reach my goals,” he shared. This inspiring story aims to encourage many others facing similar struggles.
### Top 10 Graduates of Siklab-Laya Class
The academy also listed the top 10 graduates, highlighting several who earned honors such as cum laude and magna cum laude. Their dedication and hard work reflect the high standards of PMA’s training and education.
### PMA Curriculum to Embrace Modern Warfare
Looking ahead, the PMA plans to enhance its curriculum starting next year. The new program will focus on technology and defense, introducing subjects like cyber warfare, artificial intelligence, asymmetric warfare, and drone operations.
According to the PMA superintendent, these changes aim to align training with current national security needs and ensure strategic readiness. The interdisciplinary approach will better prepare cadets for future challenges in defense and security.
With these developments, the PMA continues to evolve, shaping future leaders who are not only academically excellent but also technologically proficient and strategically aware.
