PHILIPPINE MILITARY ACADEMY (Baguio City)

For the past 100 years, the officers training school of the Armed Forces in the Philippines has made Baguio City its home.

The Philippine Military Academy (PMA) boast of a long and illustrious history of preparing only the best Filipino men (and, in recent times, women) for military service.

Located at Fort Gegorio del Pilar on Loakan Road, visitors to the City of Pines are welcome to explore the grounds, view the cadets performing their drills, and explore the PMA museum and walk around its manicured grounds to see vintage tanks and other historical military weapons.

The new elected General of PMA.. ME.. Hehe!!


An old helicopter. Not anymore use for transportation. You can go near it for a picture taking.


Me on the right corner of the helicopter.


Me and my co-pilots.. hehe.. that's our plane at the back.


SOS.. Save Our Ship.. We are under attack!!


Those were beautiful sunflowers located at the sidewalk of PMA. Isn't it facinating, there's also a bee on top.


You can climb up here. Nice view!


How to Get to PMA

By car -- pass through wooded Loakan Road past a fork in the road (to the right will be Loakan Airport), keep going straight until you see the Fort Gregorio del Pilar gate on your right. About 10 km from Burnham Park and Session Road.

By taxi cab -- you may hire a taxi cab for Php200/hour to tour you around Baguio CIty, or maybe just to take you to and inside PMA and back so you can tour the grounds by car and partially on foot.

By jeepney -- take the Plaza-Loakan-PMA jeepney from the Central Business District.
