MAGUINDANAO, Philippines — A pilot of a chemical sprayer plane was injured in a crash in Ampatuan town on Saturday. Investigators from the Maguindanao provincial police office identified the pilot as Dennis Pandi. Pandi was immediately rushed to a hospital by employees of the Amardi Banana Plantation in Ampatuan. Pandi works for the Davao Airworks, operator of planes providing chemical spraying services to agricultural companies on contract basis. “He avoided hitting our banana packing plant so his plane fell on one spot of the plantation,” Mauricio said.
