Philippine Air Force - Age Requirement for Officer Candidates

Requested from AFP by R. Dorotayo at 09:07 PM on Jan 31, 2023.
Purpose: Reference
Date of Coverage: 01/31/2023 - 01/31/2023
Tracking no: #AFP-681429417668

Good day!

I recently watched "PAF-in-a-Minute Video" posted last January 28, 2023 at the Philippine Air Force Facebook page. It was decalred in that video that the age requirement for Officer Candidates is 21-28 years old. This is different from what had been provided in the recent years when the age limit was lowered to 26 years old for OC applicants. 

I would like to clarify if there is an amendment to the provisions for new age requirement to enter the AFP and if there is any update of when the Phillippine Air Force will start their recruitment for 2023.

Thank you and more power.
