Authorities verifying reported plane crash in Sultan Kudarat

From GMA News (Jun 14): Authorities verifying reported plane crash in Sultan Kudarat

Authorities are verifying reports of a plane crash in Sultan Kudarat province that supposedly occurred before noon Sunday.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines said that as of 4 p.m. Sunday, it was still confirming such reports, radio dzBB's Sam Nielsen reported.

But the CAAP said its records showed no commercial flight passed near the area where the crash supposedly occurred.

The dzBB report cited information reaching the Sultan Kudarat police indicating the supposed crash occurred in Senator Ninoy Aquino town.

Meanwhile, Capt. Joan Petinglay, spokesperson of the Army's 6th Infantry Division, said they have not been able to verify such an incident.

Petinglay said the military's air assets in the area are all accounted for.

As of 6:11 p.m., she said air assets suspended their search operations but ground troops continued to search for the supposed missing aircraft.

Meanwhile, air carrier Cebu Pacific said none of its flights had been involved in a reported crash.

"No Cebu Pacific flight is involved in a reported incident in Sultan Kudarat today. All Cebu Pacific flights are accounted for," it said.
