Who We Are

As graduates and former cadets of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), we find ourselves in the Metropolitan Washington DC Area, encompassing the states of Virginia and Maryland in the United States. Despite being far from our homeland, we remain committed to upholding the virtues instilled in us during our time at the academy: Courage, Integrity, and Loyalty.
Enduring Camaraderie & Care

Welcome to ECC!

Living in a foreign land can be challenging, especially for those who have dedicated their lives to serving their country. However, through our shared experiences and values, we have formed a tight-knit community that fosters camaraderie and support.

One of our primary objectives is to ensure that the bond among PMA graduates, former cadets, and honorary members remains strong, even when we are miles away from home. We organize regular events and gatherings where we and our families can come together to reminisce about our time at the academy, share our experiences, and provide guidance to one another.

Our Shared Values

These events not only serve as a way to strengthen our relationships but also allow us to give back to the community. We collaborate with local organizations like the Loakan Charity Foundation, Inc. and participate in volunteer activities, showcasing the values we hold dear as PMA graduates.

Through our camaraderie, we also aim to promote the rich culture and heritage of PMA and the Philippines. We organize events and share our traditions with the local community. These events not only celebrate our roots but also serve to continue the legacy that we have inherited from our founding members.

Our commitment to upholding the virtues of Courage, Integrity, and Loyalty extends beyond our community. We strive to be active contributors to society, using our skills and expertise to make a positive impact. Many of us are involved in various professions, ranging from healthcare to technology, and we use our knowledge to serve the communities we now call home.

Join Us!

As part of our efforts to stay connected and engaged, we have established an online platform where PMA graduates in the Metropolitan Washington DC Area can come together. This platform allows us to share updates, organize events, and provide support to one another, even when we are physically apart.

We invite all PMA graduates and former cadets in the Metropolitan Washington DC Area to join us in fostering camaraderie and upholding the values we hold dear. Together, we can continue to make a difference in our communities and proudly represent the Philippine Military Academy --- "PMA Oh Hail, to Thee"!
