If you happen to visit the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) for sight seeing, and looking for nice and beautiful views, don't forget to drop by the Borromeo field.
Well, here in PMA, we have a lot of structures and places that are meaningful for us - cadets. These structures and places play an important role to our cadetship. It is part of our identity as cadets of this premier military institution.
In PMA we have sacred things and places that we value the most; of course not excluding our unique Honor code.
The Borromeo field is one of the 3 things that cadets must consider as sacred. When a cadet is in the Borromeo field, he/she is not allowed to take off his/her dress cap, eat, urinate, stand in one leg, vomit, spit, etc.
Furthermore, Civilians are not allowed to step on its very ground. So if you are planning to visit PMA and see the Borromeo field, and try to walk on it; do not be surprised if a cadet runs towards you or the Military Police blows his whistle for warning.
Moreover, important events such as graduation, parades, alumni home coming, silent drill performance and the likes are done in this revered ground. The president of the Republic of the Philippine has also had a walk here to inspect the troops during parades.
Anyways,I think everything you need to know about Borromeo field is already written here. Believe me PMA is a very interesting place to visit. It is where you start appreciating the value of our Filipino soldiery. The Borromeo field will always be in the heart of PMA's alumni and cadets. It is where it started. It is where we surrendered everything for the sake of our country's freedom that the future generation shall enjoy.
