STATEMENT ON THE RESULT OF CAAP'S PROBE
ON THE ROBREDO PLANE CRASH

We were already informed of the contents beforehand, but I haven't seen the actual report yet. Ayaw lang natin pangunahan until makapag-submit ng formal report ang CAAP, and now that they have to the President, nakita natin ang mga pagkukulang.

We have been calling CAAP's attention to these for quite some time, and now, let us make this a lesson so that errors of the past are not repeated. The official result of their investigation confirmed anew that reforms are badly needed in the country's civil aviation system. The series of security lapses starting from the plane's repair by unqualified personnel up to apparent bribery between Aviatours and a CAAP official, and the pilot's misjudgment caused a domino effect that resulted to the death of three individuals, including fellow public official and dear friend Jesse.

Bilang pinuno ng COCCAAP, tinitignan natin ngayon kung ano ang mga posibleng legislative action para tulungan pa ang CAAP for us to finally get upgraded and the ban from ICAO removed.
