THE Philippine interior minister and two others went missing after a light plane carrying them crashed at sea off a central island yesterday, an army spokesman said.
A search for the plane and its passengers was called off late yesterday because it was too dark and the water too deep for craft available, police said. Jesse Robredo, 54, was on his way to his hometown when the propeller-driven Cessna plane he was on malfunctioned and the pilots decided to land at the nearest air field on Masbate island.
