DAVAO CITY – A pilot was killed after the aerial spray plane he was flying crashed in Davao del Norte Saturday.
The Carmen municipal police station identified the victim as Jessie Kevin Lagapa, 25, a resident of Lapu Lapu City, Cebu.
Reports said Lagapa came from Barangay Kasilak, Panabo City and was going to a banana plantation to conduct aerial spraying at around 6 a.m. when the mishap occurred.
