Anxious of the state of his loved ones amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Cadet First Class Warren Leonor admitted that his plebe days inside the Philippine Military Academy had been difficult.
Warren entered the PMA in 2019, a year before the country implemented lockdowns as it battled COVID-19.
“I can say that my first year in the Academy as a plebe was the hardest because it was the time when we experienced a complete transformation from being a civilian to becoming a military while also being subjected to rigorous training. In addition to the tough drills he had to face in a single day, Warren's thoughts were also with his family in Batangas amid the health crisis as well as during the Taal Volcano eruption in the beginning of 2020.
"Noong pandemic po, during our recognition day, hindi na po nakapasok 'yung parents namin. Sobrang nalungkot po kami na they were not able to enter because doon na nagsimula 'yung lockdown," Warren said.
