00:00In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
00:05Five years ago, when Bainola was about to give birth,
00:08her husband, Calabao, was here in his house in Patuan, Pagindanao del Sur.
00:18I have been here since I was a child.
00:21I have been here since I was a child.
00:24He considers himself as his own son.
00:27We have to feed the babies,
00:32and make sure the babies are taken care of by their mothers.
00:36A few days later, Bainola's happiness reached the heavens.
00:41The baby was so happy.
00:43He was laughing and smiling.
00:48But on a Thursday afternoon,
00:50They were shot in the head.
00:52They were shot in the head.
00:54They were shot in the head.
00:58The smell of their gunpowder was too strong.
01:02The smell of their gunpowder was too strong.
01:05After being hit by a falling airplane.
01:13Boom! It was too strong.
01:14I was scared.
01:15I thought it was a bomb.
01:17I thought it was a bomb.
01:19I thought it was a bomb.
01:22It was painful.
01:23I was scared.
01:24I was scared.
01:25I was scared.
01:26I was scared.
01:28I thought it was a bomb.
01:31I thought it was a bomb.
01:32Where did the crashed airplane come from?
01:40How many seconds before the private plane crashed?
01:45The people of Malapimon heard a loud explosion.
01:53Boom! It was too strong.
01:54I was scared.
01:55I thought it was a bomb.
01:58I saw the backpack of the plane that was thrown there.
02:01The backpack of the plane and the body were separated.
02:06We ran.
02:07We looked.
02:08The airplane was small.
02:09It was only 6 or 4 people.
02:15What did the people look like?
02:16They were big people.
02:17Foreigners.
02:18I saw them.
02:19I heard them.
02:20I was scared.
02:21However, they were firmly at a distance.
02:23We were also afraid that they would run away.
02:25There was a wall.
02:26There was a wall.
02:28They were afraid.
02:29Especially the crash site.
02:30It was only a few meters away from the families.
02:34Maybe it was only 2 meters, ma'am.
02:36Or 1 meter.
02:37It was in my friend's house.
02:38It was prohibited to go there because it was being investigated.
02:42The authorities immediately responded.
02:47When our colleagues arrived, he was no longer smoking.
02:49The other parts were separated.
02:51Even the victims.
02:55Sir, this is not an airplane.
02:57The four passengers of the airplane were both shot.
03:01As of now, we don't have a nationality.
03:03There is also an instruction not to move because the rescue team from the U.S. troops is coming.
03:09What we did there is limited only to provide security within the vicinity.
03:14The full investigation that is being done now is in the hands of our troops from the U.S.
03:19Even our policemen are only limited to the security perimeter because their search is ongoing.
03:25Because of the accident, the airplane crashed.
03:28Fortunately, no civilians were injured.
03:32Except for the victim, who was hit by a private plane.
03:40The victim died.
04:04But where did the plane crash?
04:07It crashed in Maguindanao del Sur.
04:12According to the initial investigation by the authorities, the private aircraft is a Beechcraft King Air.
04:19It has a body number of N349CA.
04:22It is registered in the U.S.
04:25It left Cebu at 2.30 p.m.
04:27The flight plan was filed in the CAAP.
04:30It was approved because their air operator complied with all the requirements.
04:37It was contracted by the U.S. Department of Defense to conduct aerial surveillance in the Philippines.
04:45The aircraft was providing intelligent surveillance and reconnaissance support at the request of our Philippine allies.
04:51The incident occurred during a routine mission in support of U.S.-Philippine security cooperation activities.
04:57The cause of the crash is currently under investigation and we have no further details to release at this time.
05:04The so-called aircraft was spotted last August at Puerto Princesa International Airport in Palawan.
05:12My eldest son got it around August of last year.
05:17His Facebook friend tagged him that he heard about the incident and he was told that the airplane was the one he got last year.
05:31Meanwhile, this morning, four passengers of the aircraft were retrieved.
05:37They were taken to the chopper.
05:42The search and retrieval of the parts is ongoing.
05:46The plane crashed in the middle of the mosque.
05:51Do you regret what happened?
06:02Because of the plane crash, the livelihood of the farmers is affected.
06:16Our U.S. military insists that they will pay for the damage to Calabaw.
06:24They commit that the worth of Calabaw is the monetary amount that they will give.
06:33Last week, the plane crashed inside and outside the Philippines.
06:41I hope that these people will not be persecuted anymore.
