Plane crashes in Camiguin; 2 killed By AL JACINTO, Regional Editor-Zamboanga
ILIGAN City––A small Philippine tourist plane crashed Sunday in the southern island of Camiguin in northern Mindanao, killing its Filipino pilot and a Norwegian woman who was with her family, authorities said. It said the woman’s husband and their three-year old child who survived the crash on Camiguin Island were rushed to hospital. The plane plowed through coconut trees in the town of Mambajao before hitting the ground nearly crashing on a house nearby. The plane, a Cessna aircraft with markings RP-C290, flew all the way to Mindanao from Cebu province in central Philippines, bringing the Norwegian family for a tour of Camiguin. Authorities are now investigating the tragedy to determine the cause of the crash and whether pilot error or mechanical failure is to blame for the deadly accident. PLANE/PAGE 4

Barangay information officers undergo training on journalism By GERRY L. GORIT Photo-journalist
DOZENS of barangay information officers in Cagayan de Oro City on Saturday underwent training on basic newswriting courtesy of the staff members of the Bulawan magazine. Seminar Director Ronnie Waniwan said the one-day basic newswriting and journalism seminar-workshop was conducted to uplift the basic newswriting skills of barangay information officers of the city’s 80 barangays. Eventually, Waniwan said barangay information officers will become part of the monthly Bulawan magazine, a joint venture of the city government of Cagayan de Oro and Oro Sharprint Publishing. In his welcome remarks, Eldie E. Rotoras, the circulation manager of Bulawan magazine, said local residents are unaware of the plans and programs in every barangay simply because it seldom sees print on local newspapers. “Isip tigsabwag ug tigdumala sa Bulawan magasin, nakita ko nga adunay daghan nga proyekto nga gipatuman ug napatuman sa mga kabaranggayan apan wala gyud mahatagig luna diha sa mga pahina sa lokal TRAINING/PAGE 11
