Salvacion BDRMMC, and Community volunteers, conducted search and rescue operations.
After more than six (6) hours, the crash site was found in the boundary between Barangay Salvacion in Luna and San Mariano Pudtol town on the afternoon of August 3, 2023.
The two passengers on board the Missing RP-C8598 CESSNA 152 Plane were identified as Capt. Edzel John Lumbao Tabuzo from San Juan City and student pilot Anshum Rajkumar Konde, an Indian national. They were unfortunately found dead by operatives at the crash site.
