        "content": "<p>The delivery of the Maung MV3 Garuda Limousine tactical vehicle using\na TNI Air Force Airbus A400M aircraft to Cebu, Philippines, has drawn\nparticular attention following its use by President of the Republic of\nIndonesia Prabowo Subianto during the 48th ASEAN Summit on 7-8 May 2026.\nThis step not only demonstrates the country\u2019s security preparedness and\nlogistical support but also showcases Indonesia\u2019s trust in its domestic\ndefence industry products for international forums. The presidential\nvehicle, produced by PT Pindad, arrived in Cebu on 4 May 2026. From the\nbelly of the TNI AU Airbus A400M aircraft, the Maung MV3 Garuda\nLimousine was transported directly from Indonesia to accompany President\nPrabowo\u2019s mobility during the state agenda. The presence of the Maung in\nthe Philippines attracted attention amid the line-up of vehicles from\nASEAN member states\u2019 delegations. Rather than imported or foreign state\nvehicles, President Prabowo chose a nationally produced vehicle as a\nrepresentation of Indonesia\u2019s strategic industry capabilities on the\nglobal stage. The white-coloured vehicle features an exclusive and\nmasculine design. The Maung MV3 Garuda Limousine is the latest variant\nfrom the Maung family developed by PT Pindad. This vehicle is\nspecifically designed from the MV3 platform as the official vehicle for\nthe President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, with high\nstandards of security, comfort, and performance. \u201cThe use of the Maung\nat this international forum is not merely a means of transportation, but\na symbol of national independence, self-confidence, and progress in\nIndonesia\u2019s national industry. The Maung becomes a symbol of diplomacy.\nFrom within the country, for Indonesia, present on the world stage,\u201d\nstated Deputy Cabinet Secretary Teddy in a written statement on 7 May\n2026.<\/p>",
