In the Philippines, the term ''cadet'' is used in mostly military attached organizations, but it is more distinctive in the [[service academy|service academies]] of the Philippines, [e.g., the [[Philippine Military Academy]] (PMA), the [[Philippine National Police Academy]] (PNPA), [[Philippine Merchant Marine Academy]] (PMMA), [[Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific]] (MAAP) and Aerospace Cadets of the Philippines (ACP). Graduates of these service academies are automatically given officer commissions in the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine National Police, Philippine Coast Guard, the Bureau of Fire Protection, and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology. Graduates of PMMA are given reserve officer status in the Philippine Navy and mostly go to private shipping firms. Service academy cadets are thought to be between the NCO and officer ranks, and NCO consider cadets as rank higher to them. Punishments for the cadets depends on their violations. If a cadet violates the rules and regulations of Philippine Military Training and the rules of the school itself, the cadet will get punished by either doing push-ups, pumping, or squat.
