BAGUIO CITY — The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) on Tuesday has declared the entire Philippine Military Academy (PMA) a historical landmark in recognition of the academy’s historic contribution. NHCP Executive Director Ludivico Badoy personally unveiled the historical marker placed at the main gate of the PMA about 4 p.m.ADVERTISEMENTBadoy said the marker recognized not only the historical structures but the rich history of the academy that could be traced back to the Commonwealth Act 1 in 1935. He said there were several historical relics in PMA, including the war relics point and the Korean and Fil-Am war memorial areas. Last year PMA applied for a historical landmark recognition with the NCHP for the Melchor Hall only, the very first building in PMA. But the NHCP declared the entire Fort Del Pilar as a historical landmark.
