The requirement is up from the 80 percent it has been requiring from would-be cadets since 2002.

Maj. Gen. Cristolito Balaoing, PMA superintendent, said this is one of the initiatives the academy is pursuing to increase the number of graduates.

In recent years, only an average of 35 percent of PMA cadets have finished their four-year training, largely due to poor academic performance, Balaoing said.
