Addressing Philippine Military Academy Class 2014 Siklab Diwa, President Benigno Aquino III on Sunday, March 16, asked graduating cadets to stand by their honor code beyond the walls of the academy. The day before, Aquino met with cadet Aldrin Jeff Cudia and his family, who sought his intervention in Cudia’s dismissal case. The committee ruled that Cudia violated the honor code when he lied in explaining his tardiness in class. Lying is considered a serious offense, a violation of the honor code, and grounds for dismissal. In his speech, Aquino said in Filipino, “If lying is not allowed in class and among cadets, shouldn’t it be the case that we should also not allow soldiers to lie to anyone and break the law?” Cudia’s lawyers disclosed on Sunday he was prepared to leave the academy, his home of 4 years.
