Flower Power At The Philippine Military Academy

The Philippine Military Academy found a home in Baguio City, where flower power is at bloom and no PMA student could ever think of wars and destructions in such a restful place.
Aside from tanks, helicopters, and military planes, the whole camp is abundant with hundreds of flower species. In fact, it has more fresh flowers in natural setting than in the Baguio City proper.
The PMA has been the center of hot news issues, especially in times of rebellion within the Philippine military ranks. Many of today’s politicians were PMA alumni like Senator Ping Lacson and ex-Senator Gregorrio Honasan, a leader of the many coup attempts in the country.
The leader of the failed Oakwood Mutiny, Lt. Sg. Antonio Trillanes IV, who is running for a senatorial position at the 2007 Philippine elections, is another celebrated alum of the PMA.
Still, their restlesness do not reflect the disposition of all those future servicemen enrolled at the PMA. For how could you think of war while you’re here? Flowers, after all, signify beauty and peace.
