FORT DEL PILAR, Baguio City -- For the third time in 10 years, the valedictorian of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) graduating class is a woman.
Cadet 1st Class Andrelee Mojica of Indang, Cavite, topped the 282-member PMA Maragtas Class of 2007.
"It is an honor to represent the women of our country," said Mojica, 23, who will join the Philippine Navy after her graduation on March 19.
Two other women joined the top 10 graduates of the class. They are Cadet 1st Class Gemilyn Mendoza, who placed fifth, and Cadet 1st Class Judyline Canoneo, sixth.
Mojica is the third woman to graduate as valedictorian since 1997, after Arlene de la Cruz of Class 1999 and Tara Velasco of Class 2003.
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will address the graduating class on March 19.
