Breaking News


After the flood and surviving typhoon Helen, Filipinos are again deeply saddened as a private plane crashed yesterday, around 4pm, 18th of August, off a shore Masbate City, south of Manila. On board the ill fated plane is Jesse Robredo our Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary.  The plane pilot, Captain Jessup M. Bahinting, a veteran of flying aircrafts sent distress call to Masbate airport for emergency landing due to engine trouble. The plane did not make it to the airport. It crashed off the sea about 500 meters away from the airport.

Rescue and retrieval operation is still ongoing as I am posting this blog. Prayers and Catholic masses are being offered for the safety of the Secretary, the pilot and the co pilot. Their fate or chance of survival is still uncertain as of now. Don Abrasado the aide of Secretary Robredo survived the crash by jumping off the plane. The crash was witnessed by some fishermen and residents who mentioned of seeing smoke on the tail of the plane before it went down.
