And his being able to graduate isn’t even a sure thing yet.
READ: Cadet not dismissed for being tardy but for lying, says PMA
“Cadet Aldrin Jeff Cudia, who was dismissed from the Philippine Military Academy by the school’s Honor Committee last month, may have a fighting chance to graduate—though he will not be guaranteed a post in the Armed Forces of the Philippines,” reports Rouchelle R. Dinglasan on GMA News Online.
However, Cudia will have to win his appeal before even tackling the issue of his graduation.
The report quoted AFP public affairs chief Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala, who told GMA News Online in a phone interview on Tuesday, Mar 4: “He will not graduate unless there is new evidence to prove his innocence. Graduation depends if he completed his academic requirements but it is not sure if he will be commissioned [by the AFP] because of his case.”
The report noted that “PMA graduates are usually guaranteed a post in the military.” Right now, as the report explained, “Cudia is technically dismissed from the academy after the Honor Committee found him guilty of ‘lying’ in his explanation as to why he was two minutes late for a class.”
