Authorities have yet to find the Cessna light plane two weeks after it went missing after leaving the Cauayan City Airport for Maconacon, Isabela on Tuesday, Jan. 24.
Joshua Hapinat, spokesperson of the Incident Management Team (IMT)-Isabela, said that 301 search and rescue personnel have been deployed to the Sierra Madre mountain to look for the plane.
They are composed of the military, police, Bureau of Fire Protection, local government units of Divilacan, Isabela and Maconacon, and volunteers.
A police Special Action Force (SAF) unit from Benguet and 10 BFP personnel traveled to Divilacan on Friday, Feb. 10, to help in the search.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) sent 200 boxes of food packs for the search teams.
