Town to commend military academy topnotcher
March 5, 2011
APALIT — The Municipal Government here is preparing a testimonial dinner to commend Cadet First Class Angelo Edward Parras, an Apaliteรฑo, for graduating valedictorian in the Philippine Military Academy (PMA).
Mayor Jun Tetangco said his town has many PMA graduates, but Parras’s case is special because this is the first time an Apaliteรฑo bested 196 other graduating cadets.
“Sa Martes, sa pagdating niya dito sa atin ay nakatakda natin siyang bigyan ng parangal (We will honor him on Tuesday),” he added.
President Benigno Aquino III, meanwhile, is set to present Parras with the Presidential Saber Award during the commencement exercises at the Borromeo Grounds at Fort del Pilar in Baguio City on Sunday.
Parras will also receive 14 other awards, which include Jusmag Award for being the top graduate of the Philippine Navy; Australian Defense Best Overall Performance Award – No. 1 in Navy Core Courses; Philippine Navy Saber; Department of Tactical Officers Plaque; Academic Group Award; Humanities Plaque; Mathematics Plaque; Natural Sciences Plaque; Social Sciences Plaque; Computing and Information Sciences Plaque; and Management Plaque, among others.
