ABS-3
ABS-3, formerly ABS-5, was initially named Agila 2 after the Philippine eagle, before being acquired by Asia Broadcast Satellite (ABS). Launched in 1997, the satellite provided telecommunications services for Mabuhay Satellite Corporation before being sold to ABS in 2009. Built by Space Systems/Loral, the satellite provides coverage in the Asia-Pacific region. Its control station is located at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone in the Philippines. The satellite was launched by Long March 3B and positioned at 146°E longitude.

While it was the first Filipino-owned satellite to be launched to space it isn't the first Filipino satellite. Another satellite named Mabuhay, previously known as Palapa B-2P, was acquired from Indonesian company Pasifik Satelit Nusantara a year earlier becoming the first satellite owned by a Filipino entity.

In 2011, ABS-5 was renamed to ABS-3 and repositioned to 3°W orbital slot. ABS-3A was launched on 1 March 2015 to replace ABS-3.
