Sen. Loren Legarda on Monday called for an investigation into the crash of a Philippine Air Force (PAF) trainer aircraft in Tuba, Benguet, which killed two pilots during a military training flight.
In a statement, Legarda mourned the deaths of First Lieutenant Ruth Angelique Pasos and Second Lieutenant Cherky Embudo, who perished after their SF-260 trainer aircraft crashed in mountainous terrain.
“I recognize the immense sacrifices demanded of those who safeguard our skies that I firmly support the call for a thorough investigation into the root cause of this tragedy,” she said.
The senator described the two pilots as “young and valiant” officers who dedicated the prime of their lives to serving the country.
