    Helicopter with 5 Palace execs missing

    MANILA, Philippines - A Bel 142 helicopter carrying Press Undersecretary Jose Capadocia, Pres. Arroyo’s senior military aide Brig. Gen. Carlos Clet, Appointments Secretary Malou Frostrom and two pilots was reported missing last night, Press Secretary Cerge Remonde said.
    Remonde said the helicopter took off from Baguio City”s Loakan Airport at 4:15 p.m. on a 30-minute flight to Banawe as advance party for Mrs. Arroyo, who is scheduled to inspect the Halsema Highway today. But as of 6 p.m. they had not yet arrived.
    “We fervently hope and pray that nothing has happened to them. The two of them are very close to me,” Remonde told The STAR in a telephone interview.
    He said Capadocia called up Malacañang Media Affairs and Relations Officer Alex de los Santos at 5 p.m. and said visibility was poor and the pilots were looking for a safe place to land.
    “The last time we heard from them was that they were passing over the town of Bugiya on the boundary of Banawe,” he said.
    Remonde said Capadocia is his No. 2 man at the Office of the Press Secretary for media operations and relations, while Frostrom used to be his deputy when he was still Director General of the Presidential Management Staff.
    As of press time, Mrs. Arroyo was yet to be informed of the missing helicopter carrying the officials.
    De los Santos, who was supposed to meet Capadocia, said he got a text from the official at past 4 p.m. saying they were about to take off from Baguio City.
    “Take-off na kami (We’re about to take-off),” the text message read.
    “That’s the last communication we got from Sir. We could no longer contact him,” De los Santos said in a telephone interview.
    Remonde said rescue units from the Air Force and the Presidential Security Group were immediately sent to scour the area.
    Air Force spokesman Maj. Gerardo Zamudio said that Maj. Gen. Isagani Cachuela, commander of the Northern Luzon Command, has alerted all Army ground units to look for the missing helicopter in all possible landing areas in their jurisdiction.
    Remonde said the services of private mining firms in the area were also tapped.
    The two officials are among the longest-serving staff in the Arroyo administration. – With Jaime Laude

    This was absolutely very strange...

    about 3:45am earlier today, we had been hearing Helicopters en route to the Loakan Airport because my office is actually near the airport- about 1 kilometer away and gives a partial view of the runway on a normal day. Me and my officemates heard the helicopter noise loud and clear and we were all wonder what is going on in the middle of the night?!?!?!?!

    i think this may have something to do with this... i think...

    ang alam ko kase (opinion lang pala) na ang masasamang damo di talaga namamatay agad kase dapat nilang pagdusahan mga kasalanan nila dito...magiging bed ridden yan sila magkakasakit ng pagkatagal tagal na hindi matuloy tuloyan...

    not dying right now means she's lucky...it maybe worst for her, kase makikita nya kung papano babagsak ang pamilya nya mapapasok sa kabi kabilang intriga etc..

    TINOC, Ifugao – (UPDATE 4) The wreckage of a missing presidential helicopter carrying eight people, including three aides to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, was found in a thickly forested area in Barangay (village) Eheb here Wednesday afternoon, officials confirmed.
    In Manila, Presidential Management Staff chief Hermogenes Esperon Jr. confirmed that three bodies had been recovered from the crash site “while five others have yet to be found. We hope they were able to escape from the crash.”
    A text message from Chief Superintendent Roberto Damian, director of Police Regional Office 2, said in a text message to INQUIRER.net that reports from the area indicated the three bodies, which have yet to be identified, were “burned beyond recognition.”
    The helicopter was described as “totally burned.”
    Governor Teodoro Baguilat Jr. said the bodies had been recovered from the crash site and carried on foot to an area in Tinoc accessible by land transport and, from there, brought to the Tinoc District Hospital, the closest health facility.
    “Right now, the priority is to evacuate the bodies. It will be by foot...because it's impossible to airlift. We don't want to endanger the volunteers,” Baguilat told the Philippine Daily Inquirer (parent company of INQUIRER.net) by phone.
    Aerial operations were suspended in the afternoon because of *******ial rains, he said.
    Arroyo, who is staying at the Mansion in Baguio City, has been informed of the development, Esperon told reporters in Malacañang.
    Onboard the aircraft were Arroyo’s military aide, Brigadier General Carlos Clet, Undersecretary Marilou Frostrom of the Presidential Management Staff, Undersecretary Jose Capadocia Jr. of the Office of the Press Secretary, Assistant Director Perlita Bandayanon of the PMS’ office of regional concerns, chopper pilot Major Rolando Sacatani, his co-pilot Captain Alvin Alegata, Petty Officer 1 Demy Reyno, and Air Force crewman Staff Segreant Romeo Gem Perez.
    Miners and mountaineers have been tapped for the search for the still missing passengers, Esperon said.
    But reports from those who saw the wreck were grim, Baguilat said.
    “We couldn't really verify how many were already found...But right now, the people who went there said everybody's dead,” he said.
    “It looks like they can't be identified right now... We still don't know who are who,” said Baguilat, disclosing little about the condition of the bodies found.
    Damian said the reports he received indicated the helicopter got entangled in a tree, causing the crash. Police have now shifted their operations to search and retrieval, he said.
    In a separate interview, Director Leopoldo Bataoil of the Directorate for Integrated Police Operations in Northern Luzon said they have deployed two helicopters and additional ground rescue teams to scour the crash site.
    Senior Superintendent Samuel Diciano, deputy director of the Cordillera police, said a team of Benguet policemen aboard a helicopter found the wreckage past 2 p.m. in Sitio (sub-village) Mang-ngiihi in Eheb.
    In a telephone interview, Brigadier General Horacio Lapinid, commander of the 1st Air Division told INQUIRER.net that they have sent members of the Air Force's 505 Search and Rescue Team to the crash site.
    Lapinid said the Air Force team is on a US CH-46 chopper lent by the US embassy that was originally to be used for the Balikatan exercises in the Bicol region.
    He said the Air Force's Safety Office will conduct the investigation into what made the chopper go down.
    He said they hope to find any survivors by Thursday or, “if not, ma-recover na sila [they can be recovered].”
    The Malacañang aides were supposed to be the advance team for Arroyo’s inspection of the Bontoc -Banaue road project in the tourist town of Banaue, which was called off after the chopper was confirmed missing.
    Baguilat said the search on Tuesday night initially targeted Ifugao, particularly the remote village of Camandag in Asipulo. Baguilat said he received a report on Wednesday morning saying that search teams could not find the helicopter there.
    This, he said, expanded the search to Tinoc and in the common boundaries of Ifugao, Benguet and Nueva Vizcaya.
    "Initial target area was in our jurisdiction -- remote and without communication. Negative findings there as of this [morning]. Now, search moving toward [Mt.] Pulag, either in Ifugao, Benguet or even [Nueva] Vizcaya," Baguilat said in a text message sent to the Inquirer.
    Reports said residents in Barangay Eheb in Tinoc heard and saw the helicopter over their village on Tuesday afternoon.
    Immediately upon takeoff from Loakan, Capadocia was still coordinating Ms Arroyo's itinerary by telephone with Helen Tibaldo, Philippine Information Agency Cordillera director.
    Tibaldo said Capadocia sent his list of requests by text messages, including background details on Jovie Ann Decoyna, the topnotcher of the recent nursing licensure examinations.
    Capadocia wanted to present Decoyna, a Benguet native, to the President in Banaue, she said.
    Tibaldo said the team was supposed to follow the path of the Halsema Highway from Loakan but Capadocia sent a text message, saying they had zero visibility
