Army Cadet 1CL Dyniel Dela Cuesta Saumay of Mini-Forest Boulevard, Davao City has held onto this belief long before stepping into the Philippine Military Academy.
Before entering the Academy, he lived a life shaped by humility, hard work, and sacrifice. As the son of a single mother raising three children, he grew up helping earn a living โ working as a delivery boy and spending countless nights as a vendor at Roxas Night Market, selling slippers, clothes, phone cases, and tempered glass after classes until midnight. Exhausted yet determined, he continued his studies, firmly believing that his destiny was not confined to the busy aisles of the night market. He knew he was meant for something greater.
His desire to help his mother, pursue free quality education, and build a stable career pushed him toward PMA. But it was the tragic bombing at the Roxas Night Market that stirred something deeper within him. Witnessing such senseless violence strengthened his resolve: no one should suffer because of terrorism. That moment ignited his calling to serve the country โ specifically, to become an Army officer who protects lives and prevents such tragedies from happening again.
Inside the Academy, his greatest battle was not punishment or physical exhaustion, but being away from his family for the first time. Entering PMA with no military background, he describes himself as โa blank slateโ โ young, unfamiliar with the military world, yet ready to learn and embrace every challenge. Through resilience, maturity, and unwavering purpose, he transformed hardship into strength.
Now serving as Charlie Company Commander, Army Cadet Saumay leads with humility, grit, and a heart shaped by struggle and service.
To aspiring cadets, he offers this powerful reminder: โ๐๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ค๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ข๐ฑ๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง. ๐๐ฏ๐ญ๐บ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ญ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ต๐ด.โ
