CAMP AGUINALDO, Quezon City – The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) welcomed Rear Admiral Caesar Bernard N. Valencia PN as the new Superintendent of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in a ceremony held on July 20, 2024 in Fort Del Pilar, Baguio City.

Rear Admiral Valencia is a member of the PMA Class 1990 who served as the Philippine Navy Vice Commander in 2022. He was also the Commander of Naval Forces Northern Luzon in 2019 before being appointed Chief of Naval Staff in 2021.

General Romeo S. Brawner Jr, Chief of Staff of the AFP, presided over the ceremony which also honored the retirement of Lieutenant General Rowen S. Tolentino PA, the outgoing PMA Superintendent.


Lieutenant General Tolentino served as the 84th PMA Superintendent since August 12, 2022.
