In what has so far been a man’s world, a woman has outsmarted 303 cadets in the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) by graduating valedictorian of batch 2009.
Cadette Roan Marie Dinlo Bascugin, 22, of Cavite topped the 304 graduates, who will be officially appointed by President Arroyo to the PNP, Bureau of Jail Management (BJMP) and Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) during their graduation rites in Camp Castañeda in Silang, Cavite on March 26.
Bascugin is the first female cadet to graduate valedictorian since the PNPA schooling for future police officials became a four-year course in 2004.
PNP administrator Chief Superintendent Danilo Abarsoza told The STAR that Bascugin, of the PNPA Kaisang-Bisig Class of 2009, would be one of the 264 graduates to join the PNP.
Abarsoza said 25 PNPA graduates will join the BJMP and 15 will be assigned to BFP.
All the graduates will have ranks of inspector, equivalent to lieutenant in the military.
