BPIP Chief Yudian Wahyudi led the ceremony.

According to BPIP’s YouTube footage, the event began as the Pasukan Pengibar Bendera Pusaka (Paskibraka) assembled in front of the Pancasila Building.

The ceremony commander then entered the field and ordered the formation to stand at ease.

Yudian, as the parade inspector, entered the field and received salutes led by the commander.

Before the ceremony concluded and the formation was dismissed, BPIP read out Decision No. 20 of 2026 concerning the Retirement of Central-Level Pancasila Ambassadors from the 2025 Paskibraka.
