 PAF HYMN
To the guardians of our precious skies
We sing this grateful song
As they lay their lives in sacrifice
To keep our ramparts strong
May their strength descend from God on high
Our constant guiding light
May their efforts prosper as they try
To build the Air Force might!
 When they rise to meet the enemy
Or help to clear our shores
May they fly and fight courageously
With dedicated force
When our warriors streak across the sky
To signal victory
We salute them all who fight and fly
To keep our nation free…
 National Anthem
Bayang magiliw perlas ng silanganan
Alab ng puso sa dibdib mo’y buhay.
Lupang Hinirang duyan ka ng magiting
Sa manlulupig, dika pasisiil.
Sa dagat at bundok, sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw
May dilag ang tula at awit sa paglayang minamahal.
Ang kislap at watawat mo’y tagumpay na nagniningning
Ang bituin at araw niya kalian pa ma’y di magdidilim.
Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati’t pagsinta
Buhay at langit sa piling mo.
Aming ligaya, na pag may mang-aapi,
Ang mamatay nang dahil sayo.
 Pledge of Loyalty
If you work for a man in heavens name, work from him,
speak well of him and stand by the institution that he
represent, remember an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound
of cleverness. If you must growl, condemn, and eternally
find fault - resign your position, and when you are outside,
damn to your heart’s content – but as long as you are part of
the institution, do not condemn it. If you do, the first high
wind that comes along will blow you away, and probably you
will never know why.
 Military Professionalism
Men who adopt the profession of arms submit their own
free will to a law of perpetual constraints of their own
accord, their reject their rights to live where they choose, to
say what they think and to dress as they like.

From the moment they become soldiers, it needs but an

order to settle them from their place, to move them to that,
to separate them from their families and dislocate their
normal lives.
 In the world of command, they must rise, march, run,
endure bad weather, go without sleep or food, be isolated
from some distant post and work until they drop. They have
ceased to become master of their own fate, and if they drop
on their tracks and the ashes shall be scattered in the four
winds, that is all part and parcel of their job.
 Honor Code
WE THE CADETS DO NOT LIE,
CHEAT, STEAL NOR TOLERATE
AMONG US, THOSE WHO DO.
