Significant figures regarding Sec
Robredo's crash last 8/18 Saturday
Secretary Jesse Robredo entered the
commercially important person (CIP) room at the (NAIA) terminal 3 at
around 9:30 a.m. Saturday before his 10 a.m. flight on board Cebu
Pacific flight 5J 553.
At around 2:30
p.m., Robredo left Consolacion town after the groundbreaking
ceremony of the Regional Training Center
of the PNP.
Supposedly, Sec. Robredo was booked on
Cebu Pacific 5J-572, scheduled to depart Cebu for Manila at 3:50 p.m.
The aircraft's Registry No. is RPC 4431. The one that crashed.
But for still unknown reason, Robredo
decided to take a private plane instead of taking the commercial
flight.
At around 3:30 p.m. Abrazado sent a text message that the plane was
experiencing problem with one of the propellers and was returning
back to Cebu.
Robredo and Abrazado were rebooked on Cebu Pacific 5J-570,
Cebu-Manila that was supposed to leave at 5:05 p.m.
At around 4:20 p.m. Abrazado informed PCAS-7 and the DILG that they
were making an emergency landing at Masbate Airport.
The last communication received by the MCIA control tower from the
plane was that they were at 150 feet descending on the final
approach.
Officials said the plane was 300 meters short of the runway when it
crashed.
