A particularly notable attendee was Indonesia’s 5th President, Megawati Soekarnoputri, who also serves as the Head of the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (BPIP) Steering Committee. Her presence garnered considerable attention, especially as she was observed standing beside Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka during the high-profile state proceedings. Megawati, distinctive in her characteristic red-themed batik attire, arrived alongside President Prabowo and Vice President Gibran. They were seen entering the exclusive VVIP area, designated for high-ranking state officials and esteemed guests.
The trio, consisting of President Prabowo, Vice President Gibran, and Megawati Soekarnoputri, proceeded together towards the honorary room just before the official ceremony commenced. This particular moment became a central highlight of the Pancasila Birth Day commemoration, an event graced by the presence of leaders from various state institutions, cabinet members, and other prominent national figures.

Megawati Soekarnoputri’s attendance at the Pancasila Birth Day Ceremony had, in fact, been a topic of prior discussion.
