On 17 February 2026, the Tactical Operations Wing Central (TOWCEN) proudly celebrated its 15th Founding Anniversary with the theme: “TOWCEN@15: Embracing the Mission by Strengthening Capability and Anchoring in Values Towards Territorial Defense.”
The milestone event was graced by the Guest of Honor and Speaker, the Commanding General of the Philippine Air Force, LTGEN ARTHUR M CORDURA PAF.
One of the highlights of the celebration was the recognition of the most outstanding Unit of the calendar year, wherein TOG 8, under the leadership of COL ALEXON B RAMOS PAF (GSC), was once again adjudged as the Tactical Operations Group of the Year, marking a back-to-back achievement that reflects operational excellence, unwavering dedication, and mission readiness.
Further amplifying this milestone, the 5152nd Air Base Squadron, as an integral part of TOG 8, was likewise adjudged as the Squadron of the Year, underscoring the Squadron’s exceptional performance, professionalism, and steadfast commitment in support of the Group’s overall mission accomplishment.
This consecutive recognition stands as a testament to the hard work, discipline, and FOCUS of the Eastern Visayas Air Warriors, a source of pride not only for TOWCEN but for the entire PAF.
Congratulations, Eastern Visayas Air Warriors! (PR)
