The Philippine Military Academy (PMA) opened on Aug. 23 a new audio-visual facility at its Melchor Hall with Philippine Navy chief Vice Admiral Jose Ma. Ambrosio Ezpeleta as guest of honor.
Armed Forces of the Philippines spokesperson Col. Francel Margareth Padilla said the new facility forms part of the academy’s ongoing modernization of its Navy laboratory into a state-of-the-art training center.
Earlier this year, the Navy laboratory also saw the opening of the Combat Information Center and Briefing Room, along with a Navigation Bridge Simulator.
Equipped with advanced multimedia systems, the improvement was designed to strengthen cadet instruction in naval warfare and maritime strategy. It also complements recent upgrades to the laboratory’s façade, mural, and naval asset displays, which showcase the Navy’s heritage and evolving capabilities.
