The Philippine Army is the land-based component of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. The primary mission of the Philippine Army is to defend the country from external threats and maintain internal peace and order. It also plays a significant role in disaster response and humanitarian missions.

The Philippine Army is one of the three main branches of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), alongside the Philippine Navy and Philippine Air Force. It is organized into various divisions, brigades, and battalions, each responsible for different regions and operational needs.

Philippine Army Officer Candidate School

The Philippine Army Officer Candidate School (PAOCS) is a military training institution that trains and commissions qualified individuals into the Philippine Army officer corps. The primary goal of PAOCS is to develop future officers of the Philippine Army who possess:

  • Leadership: The ability to command, motivate, and inspire soldiers.
  • Physical Fitness: The strength, endurance, and agility necessary for military service.
  • Mental Toughness: The resilience and determination to overcome challenges and adversity.
  • Moral Character: The integrity and ethics required to uphold the Army's values.

The training program at PAOCS is rigorous and demanding, designed to prepare cadets for the challenges of military leadership. It includes both academic and physical training, as well as practical exercises that simulate real-world military scenarios.

This training at PAOCS will now be showcased in a 7-episode web documentary produced by The Philippine Army, through the Army Personnel Management Center. This reality series showcases the journey of 7 Army officer applicants from diverse backgrounds at the Philippine Army Officer Candidate School (PAOCS), from their oath-taking until they are commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the Philippine Army.
