Who we are
The PMARAI is a SEC registered non-stock, non-profit organization composed of all regular and associate members of the PMAAAI, who have retired from or have otherwise ceased to be in the active service of the AFP, PNP and PCG. We are one of the Chapters of PMAAAI, whose members are no longer in the active service.
Our story
Business Industry Chapter (BIC) conceived by Cav. Thelmo Garucho ’51 and Cav. Jose Dado ’55. Activities: pension and benefit concerns, professionalism and morality, fellowship with speakers and job openings for retirees.
Renamed Business Industry and Retirees Chapter (BIRC), focusing on its finances and assisting PMAAAI in implementing its projects.
Renamed Business Industry of Retired Cavaliers Inc. (BIRCI), continuing to assist PMAAAI in its projects and activities.
The BIRCI Board decided to widen its scope to cover all PMA retirees, serving their organizational interest. PMARAI was formed.
The Securities and Exchange Commission approved the renaming from BIRCI to PMA Retirees Association, Inc. (PMARAI).

To be the model alumni association of retirees recognized as a respected and influential organization.
Mission
Promote the general welfare of members, support the ideals of the Academy and PMAAAI, and contribute to national development.
The corporate seal
The association name is colored gold on a black background and is placed between two gold rings.
