A light aircraft made a crash-landing for still unclear reasons at the Tagbilaran City airport in Bohol province Wednesday morning.
Officials said the two-seater Cessna 152, piloted by Captain Jaymar Ortega, made an emergency landing at the airport runway at around 10:15 am yesterday, damaging its nose gear and propeller.
Supt. Eleodoro Ocampo, Assistant Director for Operations of the Philippine National Police Aviation Security Group, said in a report that there was no casualty in the incident. Ortega was just alone in the flight and was not hurt.
Ocampo said the plane came from Mactan, Cebu. The purpose of its flight is not immediately known.
“We haven’t determined yet the cause of the accident,” said Tagbilaran City Air Transportation Office Manager Edgar Solis when reached by phone.
Ocampo said the accident caused a delay for almost one hour in the departure of Philippine Airlines flight PR 176 bound for Manila./DMS
