00:00We will make an update on the crash of a helicopter in Nueva Ecija.

00:03We will interview on the line of the phone Eric Apolonio,

00:08the spokesperson of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.

00:12Good evening, sir Eric.

00:15Good evening.

00:16Sir Eric, how is the investigation on the helicopter crash in Nueva Ecija?

00:25Yes, the investigation is ongoing.

00:27Our aircraft accident investigators are on the crash site

00:33and are looking for a piece of evidence.

00:38Sir, just a clarification.

00:40This pilot is a female.

00:42Can you give us some details on where her flight was?

00:48And why? Was she alone when this happened?

00:52No. Actually, this came from a base in Manila and went to Baguio.

00:58A passenger was escorted there.

01:00Baguio left around 11.51am.

01:04It was on its way back to Manila, but it had to refuel at Binalonan Airport.

01:11And its fuel was running low.

01:15Unfortunately, when the incident happened, there was a crash.

01:21It happened in Nueva Ecija.

01:25Sir, what are the possible differences in the helicopter?

01:30Are you able to see any of these reasons?

01:33We still don't have an official report

01:36because the results will come from our accident investigators.

01:41But it's not that easy to get information

01:46because there are many studies.

01:48First, the weather factor, the engine, the pilot's record, and the aircraft itself.

01:57But so far, it was given a permit to fly

02:02so it's compliant with the safety procedures given by the CAAP.

02:07Sir, just to clarify.

02:08When she flew from Baguio,

02:11were all the details, the pilot's details, and other requirements complete?

02:19There was no problem with that?

02:21That's right. The passenger just dropped off and the pilot came back.

02:25Sir, how was the fatality?

02:28Did her family get her body?

02:32Well, as far as I know, the body was already claimed.

02:37The family was also given information at the moment of the incident.

02:43Unfortunately, there were news that the pilot was injured

02:50and we were not able to give the family the information.

02:57Sir, just one last message to our countrymen.

03:03Do you have any information that the public needs to know?

03:08Well, to our countrymen, air travel is still the safest mode of transport

03:16because if you look at the data around the world,

03:19for every 1.4 million incidents,

03:23passengers die once in an air crash,

03:27while in the land, it's only about 704 into 1.

03:31Okay. Thank you very much for your time, Sir Eric Apolonyo, CAAP spokesperson.
