Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 10) The so-called black box that may shed light on the C-130 crash in Sulu province last week is on the way to the United States for analysis, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) said Saturday.
In the government s Laging Handa briefing, PAF spokesperson Lt Col Maynard Mariano said analysis of the flight data recorder may take a month.
“
ay ia-analyze
po doon, at maghihintay po tayo ng konting panahon bago po ito maibalik po sa atin,” Mariano said. “
Mga about siguro isang buwan ang hihintayin po natin for the black box to be analyzed.”
[Translation: The black box will be analyzed there, and we’ll have to wait for a little while before it can be returned to us. We have to wait for maybe about a month for the black box to be analyzed.]
