Task Force Agila

The Task Force Agila is a Police Special Task Force under the jurisdiction of the CIDG, established by President Oscar Hidalgo upon pardoning the members of Vendetta after the events of the season 6. They were the main Police faction the TV series Ang Probinsyano seasons 7, 8 and 9 finale.

## About

After reclaiming the presidency and granting pardon to the members of the vigilante group, *Vendetta*, President Oscar Hidalgo assigned most of them, alongside some female officials from CIDG, to become a member of a newly-formed *Presidential Anti-Crime Task Force* also known as *Task Force Agila* in order for them to continue their quest to eliminate crime and corruption in the country, in the latter season 9 the group seeks to restore the legitimacy of the real President Hidalgo from the schemes of Lily and Renato before they become President of the Philippines.

The task force is composed of 2 groups—Opeña's (main) group and Basco's (partner) group. Opeña's group is the core group which lead the execution of all the missions assigned, formerly lead by PMaj. Romero until her death. Basco's group assists the task force mainly on intelligence gathering and planning.

During missions, they are assisted by CIDG officers and some occasions members of the SWAT units (albeit in regular Blue uniforms). They directly receive missions from President Oscar Hidalgo through PMGen. Manuel G. Dela Cruz and former Presidential Security Adviser Sec. and current PM/Gen. Delfin S. Borja.

In the last 10 episodes of the season 9 of the series, the Task Force Agila were now wearing Black-White-Grey pixelated camouflage with tactical gears on their disposal, this has came after President Hidalgo in his speech declaring that First Lady Lily Ann Hidalgo, Atty. Arturo Padua (whom later killed) and former secretary Renato Hipolito as the Most Wanted fugitives in the country, some of their new members were also the former Black Ops units who defected to the Task Force Agila switching their sides to the legitimate government of Pres. Oscar Hidalgo and clearing the names of Cardo and his allies.

In the last 2 episodes of the series, almost all of it's members were killed during the operation against Renato Hipolito and Lucio Santanar, resulting to the demise of the group, with Cardo Dalisay (though was shot and injured) as the only surviving member alongside President Oscar, who finished off Hipolito and Santanar, respectively.

## Trivia

* One of the Task Force Agila member Wangbu who is still alive but never appeared in his later appearance. His sudden exit is unknown.
* One of the former female members is credited and to be part of the show named Gelyn Gomez (portrayed by Ana Jalandoni/Asia Gomez). It is unclear and unknown why she never showed up afterwards in the series. She just showed to be a cameo during their trainings and their graduation.
* Task Force Agila were being assisted by the CIDG, in real-life a Police Special Task Force unit were supposed to be assisted by the local SWAT or SAF commando units due to their capabilities such as having Riot shields and anti-personnel equipment.
	+ However, this has changed after they were pardoned and reinstated by President Hidalgo when they Agilas were given a new type of uniforms similar to the various PNP units such as SWAT, SAF, AVSEGROUP and the former Black Ops, albeit different. The outfit was consisting of Black & White pixelated camouflage pattern, matched with tactical gears such as Tactical Helmet, Balaclava masks and Bulletproof Vests.
* The "Operation Dagit" to arrest Renato Hipolito and Lucio Santanar is a reference to the Mamasapano clash, where 44 SAF members died. Almost all of the Task Force Agila members, aside from Cardo Dalisay and President Oscar, were killed during this operation.
* The Task Force Agila were also based on Call of Duty's Task Force 141 from the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) and Modern Warfare 3 (2011), most of it's members were killed by General Shepherd (MW2) and Vladimir Makarov (MW3) except Captain Price who survived in 2016.
* Atleast in a Headcanon fanfiction the Agilas were still alive and well.
