"CHAMBER-ING" IN HONOR COMMITTEE RULES -- A FORM OF CHEATING?
In almost a hundred years since the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) began its tradition of "Honor Code", the procedure of the Honor Committee in deliberating cases of fellow cadets had not been changed until lately. A source told me the change took place in 2010.
In the past century, there was no so-called "chamber-ing": a term called for the process where those who dissented during the voting are brought to a secret chamber and asked to explain the dissenting vote and compelled to vote with the majority.
In the case of Aldrin Jeff Cudia, 8 voted for the finding of guilt and 1 dissented. Because the rules provide that only a unanimous vote can justify the finding of guilt, the lone dissenter was brought to the chamber and compelled by the eight to change his vote.
This is according to Avee Cudia, a sister of Aldrin Jeff Cudia.
This "chambering" whose obvious purpose is to make the dissenters change their votes is more of cheating. That after you found that you lost your case, you secretly talked to the judge to change his mind. This alone makes the whole Honor Committee proceedings NULL and VOID, if indeed dismissal through Honor Code violation is allowed under the military training school laws.
They must be reminded that once one is admitted to the PMA and that one takes his oath, he becomes an employee of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) that any removal is subject to the Articles of War and not through this Honor Code system. That is the reason that those found guilty by the committee are given two options: to continue in the service and be ostracized or resign.
