My next posts will be all about my life as a cadet in PMA. Let me first share to you one of the Academy song that always made me proud when I sing it along with the Corps. When it is sang, every cadet and cavaliers stood still and expected not only to memorize the lyrics but also sing it at the right tune. But nevertheless, what's far more important is what the song embodies... PMAers must take pride of all their accomplishments as cadets, which they did through hardship and sacrifices... through our Lord's guidance, by the Honor Code and to what PMA stands for. That each one, as they leave the PMA portal, can only continue this "PRIDE" if they serve their country honestly and truthfully and take courage not to tolerate anyone who does otherwise. I just hope that each and every one who graduated and even those who have not, still keep the message of the song in their hearts...and lives with it. Yahweh bless.
| Oh, proud and bold you stand! Bright beacon of the land Let loyal sons proclaim Thy glorious name Wherever we may be O'er land or deep blue sea, We'll raise a song to Thee, Academy, Oh, Hail to Thee! At every end of day We hope and fervent pray The honor you instill Doth guide our will! | May Thy sons ever be Men of INTEGRITY COURAGE and LOYALTY, PMA, Oh, Hail to Thee! When bells for us are rung And our last "taps" is sung Let generations see Our country free Oh, lead to righteous way Those solid ranks of gray Thy virtues to display Academy, Oh, Hail to Thee! |

ReplyDeleteang maganda pag PMA ka, siguradong opisyal ka pagkagraduate
ReplyDeleteone great song. I just can't imagine how hard it is to be in PMA. I once in my life dreamed to be a soldier. But I don't think I can survive. hehe
ReplyDeletemy hubby applied in PMA and he passed too except sa pagpasa ng requirements na-late yung sa dental niya so hindi siya natuloy. not meant for him kasi kung natuloy siya, hindi ko siya mameet sa school. =) nice song and video.
ReplyDeleteMy bf was interested to be a soldier. If he pursued pala, he would be singing this alma mater song.. :)
ReplyDeletei heard so many negative and positive feedback about PMA , didnot nag PMA ka pala. Basta i look up to people na nakatuntong sa PMA , I wanted to be a soldier before but later on decided not to pursue because there were no support from the government . Unlike before.
ReplyDeleteWow naman nag re reminisce na si Ralph! Balik ka uli sa PMA, ng makakanta ka maraming marami :-p!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. PMA-er ka? Galing! I salute PMA-ers!
ReplyDeleteI know a number of friends who are PMA-ers... really good people. Nice song, too! :)
Hymns of military academies do increase that sense of loyalty within that school. Whenever you hear the tune, you instantly sing along with other unfamiliar people who happened to go to the same academy as you did, creating a common ground.
ReplyDeleteLife at PMA can be so grueling that you will tend to sing even if you're not a singer.
ReplyDeleteomg!! ang ganda! appreciate the lyrics also nkisabay aq kht d ko alam buti sinulat mo lyrics hihi shud play this also to fall asleep very nice music there! xx
ReplyDeleteIt would really nice to see the PMAyers sing this hymn in an actual event. I'm sure it's come up with a very nice rhythm.
