Seven hurt after plane overshoots in central Philippines
AT least seven people were hurt when a plane carrying senior Cabinet officials overshot a runway in central Philippine city of Tacloban, which Pope Francis visited on Saturday.
Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said that those hurt, including the plane's crew members, were brought to Remedios T. Romualdez Medical Center for further medical examination due to minor injuries.
Among those on board the aircraft were Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr., Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr., Undersecretary Emmanuel Bautista, Undersecretary Felizardo Serapio, Jr., seven staff members, two pilots, 1 flight engineer and a steward.
Lacierda said that those government officials were in Tacloban to ensure that the activities of Pope Francis in Tacloban and Palo would go as planned.
The Pope, who was supposed to stay in Leyte until 5:00 p.m. local time, cut short his trip by staying there for only four hours due to Tropical Storm Amang (Mekkhala).
