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.

Lyrics Blowin' in the Wind by Dylan

Lyrics Blowin' in the Wind by Dylan

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man ?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand ?
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea ?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Lyrics Today My Life Begins by Bruno Mars

Lyrics Today My Life Begins by Bruno Mars

Today My Life Begins
I've been working hard so long
seems like pain has been my only friend
my fragile heart's been done so wrong
I wondered if I'd ever heal again

Ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
All around me I can feel a change (Ohh)

I will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins,
a whole new world is waiting It's mine for the taking,
I know I can make it, today my life begins

Yesterday has come and gone
and I've learned how to leave it where it is
and I see that I was wrong
for ever doubting I could win

Ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
All around me I can feel a change (ohh)

I will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me,
leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the taking
I know I can make it, today my life begins

life's too short to have regrets
so I'm learning now to leave it in the past and try to forget
only have one life to live
so you better make the best of it

I will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins,
a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the taking
I know I can make it, today my life begins

I will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me,
leave the past behind me, today my life begins,
a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the taking
I know I can make it, today my life begins,
today my life begins...
