Congratulations on completing the Candidate Officers Qualifying Course with the Aerospace Cadets of the Philippines!

SOAR HIGH, ASPIRING CADETS!

As our new school year emerged, changes are certainly observed. Other than a new opportunity to prove yourself academically, we are once again opening the door to challenge you in another field.

Introducing ACP (Aerospace Cadets Of the Philippines) an organization where one doesn't just dig deeper into the world of cadets, but one where we forge its 3 main aspects: LOYALTY, HONOR, and DISCIPLINE. A place to strive, learn, obtain more self discovery, and build a strong bond with other cadets. One to teach us the importance of unity with each duties, carrying each other's weights on our shoulders.

To the grade 9 students who are interested, strive with us until you reach the title of an OFFICER. We encourage you to start with us as COCC's and move further up as you resemble not just loyalty, honor, discipline and unity, but to serve as the reminder of what once was, and what is yet to become.
