John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Robredo, 2 others missing in Masbate plane crash
By Jonas Soltes, Karen Boncocan and Frances Mangosing
Inquirer Southern Luzon, INQUIRER.net
8:10 pm | Saturday, August 18th, 2012


NAGA CITY, Philippines – Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo was declared missing after the plane carrying him and two others crashed in the waters off Masbate City at about 5 p.m. Saturday.

Aside from Robredo, reported missing amid a search-and-rescue operation mounted by both the Coast Guard and Masbate local officials were the still unidentified pilots, according to Colonel Generoso Bolina of the Southern Luzon Command of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in a separate interview with INQUIRER.net in Manila.

A survivor was found. He was identified as Jun Abrazado, an aide to Robredo, said lawyer Dominina Rances, executive assistant of Robredo, in a phone interview.

Chief Superintendent Arne delos Santos, police director for Region 5, said that Abrazado was plucked off the waters off Masbate after the plane crashed three kilometers from the airport. Abrazado told authorities that Robredo was not able to get out of the aircraft.

Superintendent Jeffrey Mendez, deputy provincial director of Masbate, said that Abrazado insisted on going back to where the aircraft crashed but had to be taken back to a hospital due to his injuries.

The private plane, described as a six-seater, was heading for Naga City, Robredo’s hometown, from Cebu when the pilot sent a distress call to the Masbate Airport at around 5 p.m. requesting for an emergency landing.

Citing initial reports, Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines  (Caap) head William Hotchkiss said the plane that crashed was a company plane that took off from Cebu at 3 p.m.
 
Robredo was in Cebu for the national summit of the Convenors of the Community Investigative Support (CIS) National Summit and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) at the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) in Mandaue City.

Undersecretary for Peace and Order Rico Puno said in radio interviews that Robredo was onboard the Piper Seneca plane and said that he was with the DILG chief at the Cebu convention. He said that Robredo had initially booked a flight with Cebu Pacific but eventually flew onboard the plane which was owned by one of the pilots.

Robredo is one of the members of the Cabinet closest to President Benigno Aquino III and helped his election campaign in 2010.

Philippine interior minister missing in light plane crash: army
Reuters – 45 mins ago


MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippine interior minister and two others went missing after a light plane carrying them crashed at sea off a central island on Saturday, an army spokesman said.

A search for the plane and its passengers was called off late on Saturday because it was too dark and the water too deep for craft available, police said.

Jesse Robredo was on his way to his hometown in the central Camarines Sur province from Cebu when the propeller-driven Cessna plane he was on malfunctioned and the pilots decided to land at the nearest air field on Masbate island.

Robredo, 54, is an ally of President Benigno Aquino.

Witnesses saw the plane plunging into the water, about 500 meters (1,640 feet) from the runway. Robredo's police escort was rescued by fishermen and brought to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.

"They were not able to make it to the airport," Colonel Generoso Bolina, an army spokesman told reporters, saying they immediately sent search and rescue teams but could not find any wreckage.

Local television said Robredo was on the phone with his wife hours before the plane went down, saying the propeller had stopped working.
