COURAGE, INTEGRITY, AND LOYALTY. . .


    This is the motto of the famous military institution in the Philippines, the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) located in Baguio City. An institution where boys are being molded upon entering its portals then leaves it as Gentlemen, Officers and Leaders.


     Most of us thinks that being in the military means entering a cruel life and endless hardships just to become a brute/ killing machine, but its not the real deal. as what we have been taught in the academy, being an officer in the military is not just to command people but to be in touch with their inner core so as to understand them fully and for them to understand you.

    The word Courage embedded on the walls of the rampart of the academy means a whole lot of what most  of us thinks. It means bearing each and every challenge in life with hope and optimism, and not giving up though everything seems quite horrible. being brave in a war and being a reckless robot is not the true essence of courage, but it needs more than a man to be called courageous; a human being is.

    There  times times in our lives where we seem to be alone, helpless and abandoned. we feel like giving up but sometimes there is a feeling that someone out there is watching us, telling us not to give up and face all odds; to me that is the courage within amongst us. To be willing to help others in times of calamity and disaster, not thinking that your own life maybe risked, that is a level of courage that everyone must achieve. you don't need to be a soldier, nor a fighter to be called on, but just what you are inside that counts.
