Gomez said that the first batch of Filipino cadets underwent training at the academy in 1974, though the program did not continue afterward.
During a ceremonial event, IMA commandant Lt. Gen. Nagendra Singh officially pinned the rank insignia on the two Filipino officers, marking their successful completion of the rigorous military training.
