Two Philippine Navy (PN) MPACs (multi-purpose attack craft) have joined in the ongoing search for the Malaysia Airlines plane which went missing Saturday.
This was revealed by Western Command spokesperson 1st Lt. Cheryl Tindog.
These are in addition to the BRP Gregorio Del Pilar, BRP Apolinario Mabini, BRP Emilio Jacinto, one Fokker plane, and Islander aircraft which are being used in the search since Saturday, she said.
Tindog said the two planes flew this morning while the ships remain at sea, but there are still no sightings of the Malaysian aircraft.
"Fishermen were advised via radio that this particular Malaysian plane is missing and they can contact us if they see it," Tindog said.
"We will be searching until the national government tells us what to do next," she said.
Military detachments and fishermen in the disputed Kalayaan (Spratly) islands group were also asked to be on the look out for the missing airplane, Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Gregory Fabic said.
