PRIDE OF PANTAO RAGAT 👮🔥
Alhamdulillah and Warmest Congratulations to our Police Lieutenant (formerly known as Inspector) PLT ABDULLAH MANGOTARA SIMBANATAO who just graduated at Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA), Silang Cavite, with a Degree of Bachelor of Science in Public Safety (BSPS) under the batch of MANDAYUG (Mga Alagad ng batas Na may Diwa at simbolo ng bagong Araw na Yumayakap at Umaagapay sa Ginintuang lahi) CLASS 2020 at this very pandemic time.
Plt. Abdullah M. Simbanatao (known as Dodong) who hails from Cabasagan, Pantao Ragat, Lanao Del Norte is a son of Retired PNP Col. Simbanatao S. Pandapatan And Hadja Amna Mariam Lantud Mangotara. He started his early education and graduated at Cabasagan Elementary School under Batch 2008. He also successfully finished his secondary education at Pantao Ragat Agro-Industrial High School (PRAIHS) last 2013.
Prior of dreaming to become one of the distinguised cadets of the PNPA, he first studied BS Criminology at St. Michaels College (SMC) at Iligan City. But, due to his strong determination to become a cadet someday, his destiny brought him to PNPA, an academy notorious for being one of the most reputable institution in building and molding the future vanguards of the country.
Alhamdulillah for surviving the grim struggles, sacrifices and hardships designed along the way in the lives of the cadets. Aspiring for a cadet is not a walk in the park. You have to endure the thorns set alongside with it. Beginning with the examination day where most of the hopeful aspiring cadets have ended their dreams. Some took the exam once, others twice and most did not really passed at all after several attempts.
This part is indeed the most difficult one wherein the knowledge and intellect of the applicants is being tested. In fact, there are about more than ten thousand applicants taking the PNPA Cadet Admission Test all over the country every year, but only about more than one thousand or 10% out of it are fortunate enough to pass the exam.
Followed by the next screening process where the applicants have to travel in Metro Manila for the highly competitive mental including Neuro Exam, physical and medical examinations. Elimination is applied in every phase until only about an almost 300 usual fortunate aspiring applicants are being admitted to comprise the PNPA Official Batch Class.
After the most critical and hardest plebe hood days where strength and emotions are tested through the strenous daily activities and curtailing all their previleges including isolating them from their family attachment and usual civilians lives, only about 200 plebes usually remains steadfast and courageous enough to continue thier journey in the academy. Indeed, a true survival of the fittest and elimination of the unfit.
Alhamdulillah, Plt Simbanatao has proven his worth by being one of those groomed individual cadets who have surpassed and endured the mentioned course above. May you embodies the spirit of Service, bravery and loyalty to the country as you face the real world after leaving the portals of PNPA Academy. And above all, may you serve with fear, taqwah and faith to Allah Azzawajaal. Allahumma Ameen.
Once again, Congratulations and Mabuhay. The whole town of Pantao Ragat is joining with you in celebrating this most especial day of yours amidst this pandemic crisis. 👮🔥
