Senior cadets from the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) recently carried out an inaugural joint field training exercise at Pag-asa Island (Thitu) in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) that offered them a close look at the frontlines of a potential geopolitical flashpoint. The cadets, who are graduating next month, are expected to take up leadership roles as future military officers amid an increasingly complex security environment.
