The retrieval team carrying the four bodies of those who died in a Cessna plane crash is expected to reach the base camp in Camalig town in Albay early Sunday, Feb. 26. | MaAprilMierINQ /PDI
Camalig Mayor Carlos Irwin Baldo Jr., the incident commander, said that the teams had to take a break to rest before making the trek down the steep slopes of Mayon Volcano.“They are now on their way down, but we cannot determine the time of their arrival because the retrieval teams are possibly tired. Once they get exhausted, they will take a break,” Baldo told reporters in a press briefing on Saturday night at the municipal hall.
Baldo said the team successfully recovered the remains from the crash site at around 2:30 p.m. and started to transport by relay the cadaver bags using the anchor bolts and ropes installed along the steep slope of the volcano.
