List of Notable Philippine Military Academy classes

Several Philippine Military Academy classes have achieved notability, either due to highly decorated class members, significant changes in the PMA curriculum, or due to a high proportion of officers elevated to the highest ranks of the Armed Forces of the Philippines or the Philippine National Police.^[1][2] These include:

"Magiting" Class of 1970 - the first class with a recorded formal name; included Zambales Gov. Hermogenes Ebdane Jr., former Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief of Staff Roy Cimatu and former Col. Irwin Ver, son of the late AFP Chief of Staff Fabian Ver.^[2]

"Matatag" Class of 1971 - PMA Class '71, of course, is best remembered for being the core group of the Reform the Armed Forces Movement (RAM), the backbone of the military revolt that eventually led to the People Power Revolution of 1986 that ousted dictator Ferdinand Marcos.^[3] included Senators Gregorio Honasan^[2] and Panfilo Lacson.^[4] Also with them was detained former Maj. Gen. Carlos Garcia, who has been implicated in a military fund scandal.^[2]

“Dimalupig” Class of 1981 - Known for having many of its mistahs appointed to high military ranks during the term of President Benigno Aquino III.
