Daring PAF rescue saves 15 villagers trapped for days near the peak of Mt. Apo
A Philippine Air Force Huey helicopter belonging to the 505th Search and Rescue Group plucked 15 residents whose village was about to collapse on the North Cotabato side of Mount Apo on Sunday, November 3, 2019.
A photographer from the Philippine Information Agency, Danilo Doquiles, was aboard another Air Force helicopter involved in the rescue operation and was able to document the daring rescue.
“I never can imagine the bravery and skill of the pilots. They just land their helicopter even if the ground they landed on was about to collapse,” Doquiles narrated.
Doquiles said the white helicopter rescued 15 residents of Sitio Kapatagan, including a 82-year-old woman and three children, on Sunday morning.
He said the helicopter landed twice on the rocky precipice that was about to collapse.
“The pilots never lost their nerve. All they did was hover their aircraft and rescued the residents,” Doquiles said.
