FORT del PILAR, Baguio City, March 17 (PNA) -- The latest
incident involving Cdt 1C Aldrin Jeff Cudia was the third violation of the
Philippine Military Academy's (PMA) revered Honor Code.
Major Agnes Lynette Flores, PMA public affairs office chief,
said in an interview that Cudia was accused of committing two other violations,
both involving alleged cheating, in his final year in the academy.
She said the first two charges of cheating were dismissed
after a preliminary investigation.
In the investigation of Cudia’s cheating offenses, someone
proved that he was given permission to do the supposedly reportable offense, a
violation of the PMA honor code.
The investigators saw that there was justification so, both
cheating offenses were dismissed.
In his last offense, Cudia lied about the events preceding
his attendance in class.
Cudia stated that his class ended at 1500H (3 p.m.) and
attended the next class immediately after the other.
He was confronted for being two minutes late in the next
class and his excuse was because the previous class ended a few minutes after
3:00 which conflicted his first statement.
Cudia was not allowed to join the graduation march and in
the opening statement of President Benigno Aquino III in his speech Sunday
insinuated that the Honor Code must be respected in and out of the academy.
