Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — A helicopter carrying ranking police and military officials — including former Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesman Chief Supt. Wilben Mayor — crash landed in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan Tuesday afternoon, injuring two of the uniformed men.
According to the Philippine Air Force, Mayor — and 12 others, mostly PNP star-rank officials — were on board a Sokol chopper for an aerial survey when the aircraft dived in Sitio Sabang, Brgy. Cabayugan.
Those who suffered minor injuries were Chief Supt. Nestor Bergonia and chopper co-pilot Maj. Mechael Yraola. All others were unharmed.
The men were later airlifted from the crash site and brought to Camp General Artemio Station Hospital Brgy. San Miguel.
The Air Force report added the chopper was totally wrecked from the impact.
