MANILA, Philippines—The Philippine Military Academy’s official website went offline on Wednesday (March 5).

This was a day after a recommended list of graduating cadets of PMA Class of 2014 allegedly came out from the website. The name of controversial cadet Aldrin Jeff Cudia was included on the list.

Cudia was dismissed from the PMA for allegedly violating the Honor Code, as he supposedly lied as to why he was late. Lying is a grave offense in the academy. The code says that one must not lie, cheat and steal nor tolerate those who do.

FEATURED STORIES

Military spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Ramon Zagala denied that the list came out from the official site of the PMA.

“In our conversation with Major [Agnes Lynette] Flores [PMA spokesperson], that is not the official website so we have to determine the reasons,” Zagala said, but did not directly say whether the site was hacked or cloned.

He added that it was not a practice of the PMA to release a list of graduating cadets. They only come out a list of incoming plebes or equivalent of freshman students.

“It is possible that this list is the list of their class during the incoming plebe year,” Zagala told reporters.

This week, the Army, Air Force and Navy chiefs hosted a reception dinner to incoming Second Lieutenants of PMA Class 2014. Cudia was not among them.
