Lt. Cheryl Tindog, Western Command spokesman, said Chief Superintendent Wilben Mayor, MIMAROPA regional director, is among the injured officers. The others are chief superintendents Camilo Cascolan, Amador Corpus and Nestor Bergonia.

She said the police officers were conducting aerial survey when the Sokol chopper” “experienced a mechanical problem and crash landed at vicinity of Sitio Sabang, Bgy Cabayugan, Puerto Princesa City.

Col. Antonio Francisco, Air Force spokesman, the chopper crashed landed at a rice field away from populated area some 28 nautical miles north of Puerto Princess City.
