This year’s graduation will not have the usual fanfare and families around due to the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic.

Capt. Cherry Tindog, PMA information officer, earlier said the commencement exercises this afternoon would not be open to the public and without media coverage.

PMA closed its doors as early as February, following the cancellation of the annual Flower Festival, as a protective measure for the cadets from possible Covid-19 infection.

Tindog said the graduation ceremony would be streamed live via PMA’s official Facebook page. (PNA)
