The wife of a former Muntinlupa councilor who died in a plane crash in Palawan during Holy Week said preparations are underway for the transport of his remains. 

Former councilor Allan Rey Camilon and another pilot, Joseph Jiao, were killed when their plane crashed in Barangay Decalacho, Coron, Palawan on April 2. It was headed to Sangley Airport. Camilon was 49. 

Current Muntinlupa Councilor Amanda Camilon, Allan Rey’s wife, gave an update for those inquiring about the wake. 

“From our family, nagapapasalamat po kami sa lahat ng mga nakidalamhati (From our family, we thank all those who mourned). Many have asked when the wake will be. Presently, we are in the process of transporting the remains of Allan, as well as awaiting the arrival of some  of his family members. We are looking at the end of this coming week,” she posted on April 4.
