Leonor also paid tribute to two members of the Class of 2023 who died when they were just freshmen – cadets Darwin Dormitorio and Mario Telan Jr., who died inside the PMA in separate instances of abuse and neglect.

Of the 310 graduates, 158 are joining the Army, 75 will be joining the Air Force, while 77 are set to join the Navy. – Rappler.com
