Born on November 29, 2000, in ๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ข๐บ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ช๐ฆ๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ช๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ฆ (๐๐๐๐), ๐๐ข๐จ๐ถ๐ช๐จ ๐๐ช๐ต๐บ,he is not just any cadet; he is driven by the profound will to change the world, and he is a dreamer whose road towards this great path is really motivating.
Cadet Bumanglag grew up in Taguig with a childhood molded by the promise of possibilities and the brutal realities of existence. Though his hometown is also one where strength may inspire greatness, he says it is one where the system devours the weak. He was always set to overcome his situation.
The motivation behind his dream to pursue a career at the academy came from two powerful sources: his father and his mother. His father, who once dreamed of joining the academy but never had the chance to, remains a guiding light for him. His words continue to echo in his heart, urging him to strive for greatness. But it was his mother, a strong, single parent, who worked tirelessly to raise him and his siblings, that truly fueled his ambition. Her sacrifices showed him the importance of hard work, integrity, and building a future for those you love.
Before joining the long maroon line, Cadet Bumanglag was a ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ญ ๐ด๐ต๐ถ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ข๐ต ๐๐ข๐ณ ๐๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ ๐๐ฏ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ช๐ต๐บ, ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฐ๐ธ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐บ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐จ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ. But his path took a sharp turn as he left the comforts of his medical studies to pursue his dream of becoming a cadet. It was not an easy decision, nor was it an easy journey.
As a cadet, he faced hardships that pushed him to the edge. A medical setback almost ended his journey before it even began, leaving him questioning whether he could continue. But he didnโt give up. Despite exhaustion, doubt, and a heavy heart, he pressed forward, and with each step, he grew stronger.
Through it all, Cadet Bumanglag found moments of hope and inspiration. Topping his class in academics and tactical subjects was a major milestone in his cadetship. It wasnโt just about the accolades but the realization that his hard work was paying off. However, his true reward was the pride he saw in his familyโs eyes, especially his motherโs smile when he could finally give back to them, even in small ways.
His message to his underclassmen and aspiring cadets is clear: โ๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐จ๐๐๐ฅ๐จ, ๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐๐ฎ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐๐ค๐ง๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ฅ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ค ๐จ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช. ๐๐๐๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐๐ก ๐ฌ๐๐๐ .โ

After graduating from the academy, he is determined to serve his country with honor and integrity. His plans include further studies in law and public administration, with the goal of becoming a public servant who always puts the people first. โ๐ง๐ผ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐โ is not just the motto of the Philippine National Police for himโit is a promise to always strive for a positive impact on the community.
Cadet Bumanglagโs journey proves that perseverance, belief in oneself, and the support of loved ones can carry you through no matter how tough the road may seem. His story is a shining example for all cadets and aspiring leaders: with faith, hard work, and resilience, anything is possible.
