3 FEMALE CADET APPLICANTS TOP PMA EXAMS

/ 8 February 2026

THREE female cadet applicants dominated the 2025 Philippine Military Academy Entrance Examination held recently.

The examinees are Amanda Isabel Guzman (Rank 1), who led the list, followed by Gwen Kyla Phalashol (Rank 2) and Aafia Khim Alzeynaah Lomondaya (Rank 3)—an all-female Top 3 in a traditionally male-dominated path.

The 2025 PMA Entrance Exam saw 33,640 online applicants.

Out of 24,671 qualified examinees who took the test across 48 testing centers, only 1,436 emerged as successful passers—showing just how competitive the selection process is.

Next, the passers will proceed to a strict screening phase involving medical, physical, and psychological evaluations before final admission.

The PMA salutes these future military leaders, with this all-women Top 3 expected to inspire more applicants to join the prestigious military academy.
