Human error coupled with mechanical failure are the two most probable causes of the Beechcraft Queen Air crash in Paranaque City last December 10 that resulted in the death of 14 people, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Board announced on Thursday.
THE DEPARTMENT of Budget and Management (DBM) has released P128 million for the immediate reconstruction of a school in Parañaque City gutted by an air crash this month.


In a briefing held at the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) head quarters in Pasay City on Thursday, Director General Ramon Gutierrez disclosed that the twin-engine cargo plane still had one engine running at the time of the incident and that it was very probable that the pilot was not able to perform the proper emergency maneuvers which resulted in its deathly plunge to a heavily populated shanty town in Baranagay Don Bosco, Paranaque.
The budget will fund the construction of 80 classrooms in the F. Serrano Elementary School after the building burned down early this month when a five-seater Beechcraft Queen Air cargo plane crashed, Budget Secretary Florencio B. Abad said in a statement yesterday.


According to Gutierrez, their investigation revealed that shortly after the aircraft took off from Runway 13-31 of the airport, the left engine suffered what seemed to be fuel starvation that later caused it to feather and stop spinning.  Gutierrez added that several witnesses recounted that they heard one of the engines sputtering before it banked steeply to the left then plunged to the ground.
The money will be granted to the Department of Education (DepEd), sourced from the 2011 Calamity Fund, since the Quick Response Fund of the department has been programmed for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of other projects, he explained.


The AAIB investigation showed that the pilots of the aircraft, Capt. Timothy Albo and Capt. Jesse Kim Lustica, encountered problems with the left engine upon reaching 200 feet forcing them to radio the Manila Control Tower and request for emergency landing status.
“A thorough evaluation by the DepEd found irreparable damage to the building, which then had to be completely demolished. Given that, we need to quickly allocate funding toward the reconstruction of the whole school. We are now fast-tracking the release of funds to begin the construction as soon as possible,” Mr. Abad said.
 
Once the reconstruction is completed, the school will have enough space to accommodate its 2,652 grade school students.
 
“We will build enough rooms so the school administration can conduct a single-shift program for its students, instead of putting them on the usual double shift. Once the reconstruction is finished, classes will be back to normal and students can have a school environment more conducive to learning,” Mr. Abad said.
