Agila 2

 1997-042A


The Phillipine Agila Satellite Inc. (PASI), Makati was formed in Jun 1994. Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co (PLDT) broke off in 1994 and formed Mabuhay Philippine Satellite Corp, (MPSC), Manila.

Mabuhay Philippines Satellite Corp. is buying a Loral satellite for domestic Philippines communications, to be launched in late 1996.

In October 1997 Agila was moved to 146E after Japan said it was interfering with Superbird C; Phillipines did not have ITU clearance to broadcast at Ku band from the 144E slot.

In 2009 MPSC was bought by Asia Broadcast Satellite of Hong Kong and Agila 2 was renamed ABS 5. In 2011 the satellite was moved to 3W and renamed ABS 3.
