Local Pride Explodes in the Council Chamber
Four Kagay-anons who recently graduated from the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) stole the spotlight when they stood proudly before the 21st City Council. Everyone cheered as these young heroes received massive recognition. Moreover, the council approved Resolution No. 15765-2026 on May 25, congratulating and commending them for bringing huge honor to the city.
The honorees—Second Lieutenants Lawrence Cabahit, Pauline Jhun Amper, Mel Evan Caniedo, and Kent Michael Yaba—graduated on May 16, 2026, as part of the PMA 'Talang Dangal' Class. They crushed four tough years of training and now shine bright for their hometown.
