While the country debates reforms and modernization, one man is not waiting around.
PMGEN ANDRE P. DIZON is moving.
On February 23, 2026, two powerful gatherings underscored the strength of leadership and unity within the uniformed services.
At Camp Aguinaldo, the Assembly of Service Academies and Schools Alumni Association of the Philippines (ASASAAP) held its Turn-over Ceremony and Post-Valentine’s Ball, with Executive Secretary Ralph G. Recto as Guest of Honor and Speaker, ably represented by USEC (LTGEN) Facundo I. Palafox IV (Ret.). It was a gathering of patriots — men and women forged in discipline, bound by honor.
But the real action? It was unfolding in Silang, Cavite.
At Camp General Mariano N. Castañeda, the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) stood in formation for its Monday Flag Raising Ceremony — not as routine, not as a ceremony — but as a declaration.
Under the firm and uncompromising leadership of PMGEN ANDRE P. DIZON, the Academy is not just training cadets. It is shaping warriors of integrity.
And Dizon made that crystal clear.
In his guidance message, he did not mince words. The Director reiterated the Chief PNP’s full support to professionalize and modernize the Academy — a mission he has relentlessly pursued. No excuses. No shortcuts. No room for mediocrity.
He reminded cadets to steer clear of misconduct. To uphold discipline. To embody integrity. To respect rules not out of fear — but out of honor.
Because in Dizon’s book, one mistake is not just personal failure.
It stains the badge.
It tarnishes the Academy.
It weakens public trust.
And that — he will not allow.
This is not new.
Throughout his career in the Philippine National Police, Gen. Andre Dizon has built a reputation anchored on discipline, decisive leadership, and institutional reform. From command posts to strategic leadership roles, he has consistently pushed for higher standards, stronger accountability, and results that speak louder than rhetoric.
Under his stewardship, the PNPA is undergoing a renewed push toward modernization — strengthening training systems, sharpening leadership development, and reinforcing values formation. He understands that the future of the PNP is not in press releases — it is in the cadets standing in formation today.
And he is demanding the best from them.
Because tomorrow’s police generals are watching him now.
The message was unmistakable:
The uniform is earned daily.
Honor is protected relentlessly.
Integrity is non-negotiable.
In a time when institutions are tested and public scrutiny is unforgiving, the PNPA under PMGEN ANDRE P. DIZON is drawing a hard line in the sand.
Discipline. Professionalism. Accountability.
No compromises.
And if the tone at Monday’s ceremony is any indication, the next generation of police leaders will be forged not in comfort, but in character.
The Academy is standing tall.
And at the helm is a General who refuses to blink.
