“The retrieval team arrived at the crash site today around 8 a.m. The rain and the slippery slopes slowed them,” the Isabela Public Information Office (PIO) said.
The Cessna was found Thursday morning (March 9) at Barangay Ditarum in Divilacan town, over a month after it was first reported missing on Jan. 24. There were no survivors.
The aircraft was found on a slope with dense forest cover, according to the Isabela Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO).
Weather conditions have also been tough on retrievers, it added.
