The Philippine Military Academy (PMA) is the country's premier military training institution — often called the 'West Point of the Philippines.' Set on a sprawling campus in Loakan with panoramic mountain views, PMA is open to visitors who want to watch the famous Silent Drill (a zero-verbal-command precision drill performance), tour the PMA Museum (military artifacts, medals, dioramas of Philippine battles), and wander the manicured grounds with their cannons, tanks, and fighter jets on display. Cadets in their gray dress uniforms are a common sight. The Silent Drill — performed with rifles and no vocal commands — is the highlight: it's precise, powerful, and unlike anything else in Baguio.

PMA is in Loakan, a quiet area with very limited accommodation (mostly small homestays). Stay at VOS Baguio Transient in central Baguio, visit PMA as a morning excursion (20-minute taxi), and come back to where all the food, cafés, and evening activities are.
