MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— The Philippine Air Force (PAF) on Monday announced that it has deployed a Bell UH-1 “Super Huey” to conduct aerial-search operations over the Iloilo-Guimaras Strait, where three motor bancas have capsized Saturday due to inclement weather, drowning more than 20 people.<\/p>\n

Major Aristides Galang, PAF spokesperson, said the “Super Huey” with tail number 890 and carrying pararescue personnel will operate alongside the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).<\/p>\n

The aircraft is from the Air Force’s 505th Search-and-Rescue Group.<\/p>\n

Aside from the helicopter, the PAF’s Tactical Operation Group-6 in Iloilo has also provided KM-450 and M-35 trucks to help ferry survivors from Parola Wharf to Lapuz Port in Iloilo City.<\/p>\n

Galang added that as of 8 a.m., PAF units over the Guimaras Strait has spotted a victim on the waters, who was later retrieved by the PCG.<\/p>\n
