CADET 1CL KNIGLE ADANG BASTIAN, an Igorot from the Mountain Province is PMA Charlie Company Commander.

A brother of a cadet-aspirant who tried his luck for three consecutive years, CADET 1CL KNIGLE ADANG BASTIAN is a native Kankana-ey of Bauko, Mountain Province.

The perseverance of his brother to enter a service academy is his inspiration to be one of those who took the road less traveled.

Little did he know that this journey will not just fulfill the dream of his brother but will also drive him to be the best version of himself.

PMA taught him that more than all else, self-discipline will conquer his bests.

Today, this loving brother is still on his way to fulfilling his sibling's dream as the Company Commander of the CCAFP's Charlie Company.

He encourages the youth to take the challenge that once tested him.

Marking the race he had for his brother even in the midst of odds and uncertainties.

This time, he dares you to rise amidst impossibilities and challenges that life could offer.

People wanna be rich, beautiful and famous. I just wanna be happy.
