The vast majority of generals and admirals in the Armed Forces of the Philippines come from the Philippine Military Academy. There are, however, a handful of generals that come from alternative sources.
These alternative sources of commission, as well as the icons used to represent them in the various lists, are discussed here.

These
are officers that obtained their commissions via a major
service Officer Candidate School. As per GHQ AFP Circular
Nr 14, dated Nov 10, 1994, OCS applicants were drawn,
in priority, from the following: Reserve Officers (Active),
graduates of the AFP Advanced ROTC scholarship programs,
outstanding graduates of Military Science (MS) 43 program,
enlisted men, others. |
| Philippine
Air Force programs |
|
Historically,
the Philippine Air Force obtained its non-PMA officers
from the following sources:
| PAF
Flying School (PAFFS) |
|
This
is the principal source of pilots for the PAF.
The school's corps of cadets include commissioned
officers of the AFP (e.g., from the PMA and PAFROPP),
as well as graduates of civilian colleges and
universities.
The
latter obtain their commissions upon graduation
from PAFFS.
|
| PAF
Regular Officer Procurement Program (PAFROPP) |
|
The
PAFROPP was a three-year officer training program
(not to be confused with Officer Candidate School)
initiated by the PAF in 1971. History of the program
is available here.
This program has reportedly been discontinued.
PAFROPP
graduates have the option to proceed to the PAF
Flying School to become pilots, or remain as non-pilot
commissioned officers.
