Gen. Crizaldo Nieves, Cagayan Valley regional police chief, said two bodies had been retrieved from the wreckage. “As of this time, recovery of the aircraft is being executed to determine the number of casualties,” the PAF statement said. Officers from the Cauayan City Police Station earlier told INQUIRER.net that the helicopter crashed at the TOG2 area. Initial reports from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) jibed with the PAF statement. According to Cagayan Valley police chief Nieves, at least one of the injured crewmen were rushed to the Isabela United Doctors Medical Center.
