CCPNPA Mini-Olympics Opening

Cadets were not able to avail themselves of the Year-End/Semestral Break in line with the implemented health protocols and safety precautions by the Academy due to the existing pandemic. To subdue the mental stress and frustration experienced by the cadets brought by the “double quarantine,” the administration instigated the said mini Olympics wherein the eight companies (from Alfa to Hawk) competed among themselves to bag medals in different sports.

Popular sports were played such as Basketball, Football, Volleyball, Triathlon, and Swimming; also, combative sports like Taekwondo, Judo, Karate, and Pekiti added excitement as underclassmen were allowed to be matched against their upperclassmen.

The awaited Search for Mr. and Ms. PNPA 2020, as the highlight of the event, was attended by all cadets where both the physical and mental prowess of the contestants were tested. Cadet 1Class Mohammad Amaikurut of Hawk Company is Mr. PNPA 2020 and Cadet 1Class Rheacia Faith Bartolome of Golf Company is this year’s Ms. PNPA.

The Mini Olympics was also pushed to aid on the cadets’ needs in physical, social, and psychological aspects and catalyze their holistic transformation into well-rounded officers of the PNP, BFP, and BJMP in the future.

The 3-day mini Olympics outcome are as follows:
