MANILA, Philippines — A party-list congressman was declared safe while a pilot suffered head injuries when a military helicopter crash-landed in Crow Valley in Tarlac yesterday.
A report quoting former House secretary-general Cesar Pareja said he was with Coop-Natcco party-list Rep. Antonio Bravo and several staff of the House of Representatives when the accident occurred.
Pareja said the pilot suffered head injuries while the crew has a broken arm.
“We are safe... I have minor scratches along with most passengers,” he said.
The report did not say why Bravo’s group was visiting Crow Valley, where Philippine and American military forces usually conduct live fire exercises. – Jess Diaz, Ding Cervantes, Jaime Laude
