HONOR SYSTEM
This is a set of rules or ethical principles governing an academic
community based on ideals that constitute honor within a
community.
The use of an honor code depends on the notion that people can
be trusted to act honorably. Those who are in violation of the honor
code can be subject to various sanctions including expulsion from
the institution. Honor code is used to deter academic dishonesty.
In November 12, 1840 when Professor John Davis was shot to
death in an attempt to quell a disturbance in the lawn of the
University of Virginias Davis was able to identify the assailant
stating that an honorable man would step forward on his own. On
July 4, 1842 a LAW FROFESSOR Henry St. George Turker Sr.
Replaced Davis as he proposed that students sign an
examination from stated as, do here by certified on my honor the I
have the derived no assistance during the time, and definition of
what constitute an honor offense has evolved as well.
The development of character is one of the crucial aspects in the
training of a cadet. It is a fundamental objective which the
Philippine Military Academy strives to achieve through the Honor
Code and the Honor System. This system is a unique system
which is administered by the cadets themselves. Through the
Honor System, the cadet binds himself to the Code which states
that:

"We admit that every man who enters the Academy has
been subjected to different environments which we
cannot expect to change in a short time, but we strive to
help him in his adjustment to a new system wheel his
word is accepted as the truth. Emphasis is placed on
the fact that a rendition of a report with a knowledge of
the existence of an anomaly is dishonesty intolerable
among the group of gentlemen the Corps endeavors to
produce.
"Our Code does not deviate from the universal concept
of Honor. It demands the truth ... nothing else, but the
truth ... both by act and implication. Each cadet
becomes a zealous guardian to this earmark of the
Corps and will report another or himself for a violation of
honor. It is in keeping this priceless legacy from our
predecessors that we seek to transmit it unblemished to
the unending gray line.
