Captain Edgar Alcantara who hails from Bukidnon graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Engineering at FEATI University, Manila, Philippines.
He was an illustrious member of Philippine Air Force Flying School Class 79A together with Captain Toti Tagal.
Captain Alcantara informed me that as a former Philippine Air Force pilot for 10 years, he had been flying the transport aircraft to Pag-asa Island and the rest of the Kalayaan Islands (Spratlys) for his numerous resupply missions and bringing provisions to our troops in those islands through paradropping since there was no airstrip to land on. Only Pag-asa Island has the Rancudo Airstrip.
Now, he is a retired airline pilot.
Inspired by his previous commitments as a former military pilot and his colleague Captain Toti Tagal ( new NYMWPS Family member) to become an advocate of our West Philippine Sea, Captain Alcantara is now a new member of our National Youth Movement for the West Philippine Sea (NYMWPS) Family to defend our territorial sovereignty and integrity.
Thank you very much, Captain Alcantara!
We are very honored to have you in our NYMWPS Family!
You are truly a pride of the Filipino people!
May your tribe increase!
Welcome aboard!
Mabuhay ka, Captain Alcantara!
