The Philippine Air Force (PAF) formally opened the third iteration of Sanay-Bagwis 03-2026 on October 1, 2026, at Brigadier General Benito N Ebuen Air Base, Lapu-Lapu City. The exercise will be participated in by 1,180 PAF personnel in a unilateral exercise designed to enhance operational readiness, assess coordination, identify operational gaps, and refine the PAF’s ability to respond to evolving operational requirements.
The opening ceremony featured the presentation of participants and followed by the formal declaration of the opening of exercise. The ceremony was immediately followed by a Staff Exercise (STAFFEX), where staff officers worked through planning considerations and coordinated actions in preparation for the succeeding phases.
This year's Sanay Bagwis further strengthens the PAF’s capacity to operate effectively across complex and evolving mission requirements.
