Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 20) — Aviation authorities have yet to confirm if the wreckage spotted near Mayon Volcano’s crater belongs to the missing Cessna aircraft in Albay.
Aerial photos lang po yung nakuha namin — yung drone shots — but we cannot confirm if yun nga yung said aircraft. Kailangan po kasi yung ating accident investigators, makita ho sa ground yung crash site mismo,” Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines spokesperson Eric Apolonio said in a briefing.[Translation: We only have aerial photos — the drone shots — but we cannot confirm if that is the said aircraft. Our accident investigators need to see the actual crash site on the ground.]
Local authorities of Camalig town claimed that the Cessna 340A that was reported missing in Albay on Saturday has been found after over 32 hours since it was reported missing.
Aerial photos and videos showing wreckage close to the volcano’s mouth were also shared by Camalig Mayor Carlos Baldo, as well as Albay 2nd district Rep. Joey Salceda.’ ’10’: ‘contentWidth’: ‘fit-content’ ’embedCode’: ‘
