Operational Visit of DC, ALC and WC, 420th Supply Wing at 4223rd Supply Operations Squadron I BGBNEAB, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu

On 04 February 2026, the officers and personnel of the 4223rd Supply Operations Squadron (SOS) at Brigadier General Benito N. Ebuen Air Base (BGBNEAB), Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, warmly welcomed BGEN EDMON B GUPIT PAF, Deputy Commander, Air Logistics Command (ALC), and BGEN RONNIE C CABINGAS PAF, Wing Commander, 420th Supply Wing, during their operational visit to the deployed squadron. The engagement highlighted leadership’s continuing commitment to sustaining efficient supply support operations while placing equal importance on the morale and welfare of personnel.

Upon arrival, the generals were accorded traditional arrival honors and rendered a courtesy call on MGEN RAMIL G OLOROSO PAF, Commander, Air Mobility Command—reinforcing unity of effort and strengthening partnerships in support of air operations across Visayas.

The visit centered on what mattered most: the people on the ground. Through an informal Talk to Troops, both leaders personally engaged the personnel, creating an environment that encouraged open dialogue on operational realities, workplace challenges, and welfare concerns.

BGEN CABINGAS emphasized the critical role of mission readiness and reiterated the Wing’s ongoing efforts to pursue system and facility enhancements aimed at better supporting both the mission and its personnel. Meanwhile, BGEN GUPIT assured the airmen of sustained leadership presence and reaffirmed the Air Logistics Command’s commitment to continuously strengthening its units through responsive support and organizational improvements.

The visit concluded with a traditional boodle fight, where leaders and airmen gathered around the same table—sharing not only a meal, but also camaraderie, leadership, and a renewed sense of unity.

More importantly, this operational visit marks the beginning of a series of engagements scheduled across all Supply Support Squadrons of the 420th Supply Wing. Through these visits, Wing and Command leadership aim to sustain direct ground-level connection, gain deeper insight into the operational environment, and ensure that every unit remains supported, mission-ready, aligned with command priorities and keep on pushing forward.
