PMA female cadets now allowed to sport longer hairBy Vincent Cabreza

First Posted 03:45:00 03/13/2008FORT DEL PILAR, BAGUIO City—Only one female cadet will join this year’s top graduates of the Philippine Military Academy next week.
But when Cadet First Class Me-Ann Sinson of PMA “Baghawi” (Bagong Halaw ng Lahi or new breed of leaders) Class of 2008 receives the honor of graduating No. 3, she will be wearing her hair far longer than the female cadets who first graduated in 1997.
Chalk that up to the newly liberated world of a unisex military.
According to Maj. Gen. Leopoldo Maligalig, PMA superintendent, female cadets are now allowed to wear their hair long because people used to mistake them for men.
In 1993, Capt. Arlene Orejana-Trillanes, one of the first female graduates, was required to keep her hair from reaching her shoulders. But female cadets today can have hair long enough for a ponytail, provided they groom themselves well, Maligalig said.

Wow Yolynne. That is great news indeed. I think girls should be allowed to have longer hair naman. Although having short hair has its own advantage (less shampoo/conditioner).
