FORT DEL PILAR, Baguio City - The
valedictorian of this year's Philippine Military Academy Class
of Baghawi (Bagong Halaw ng Lahi) on Tuesday asked his
classmates to be "agents of positive change" and uphold their
"duty and mandate of being the protector of the people and our
Constitution."
In his valedictory address, now Navy Ensign
Ariel Rallos told the 219 other members of the class "to exhibit
the values and character that we have developed during our years
of stay here in the academy."
"We have proven our worth as cadets having
been declared graduates. But our commitment should not stop
here. We should continue to strive for excellence and to make
remarkable contributions to the Armed Forces of the Philippines,
the people and the nation," he said.
