PHILIPPINE, 21 Feb – Rescuers are scouring the slopes of an active volcano for survivors, after a small plane crashed near the crater.
The search on the Mayon volcano entered its third day on Tuesday, with helicopters, mountain climbers and sniffer dogs deployed to the wreckage.
Two Filipino crew and two Australian consultants of a geothermal firm are among the missing.
Bad weather has slowed the search since the plane was found Sunday.
Cedric Daep, who is leading the search, told local radio DZGB that the provincial governor was hoping to find survivors by Tuesday.
