Secretary Mar Roxas broke the sad news on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at the search and rescue operations command post near the crash site.
Roxas said the remains of Secretary Robredo and companions were found inside the fuselage/plane wreckage by a British volunteer technical diver at a depth of roughly 180 feet below the sea, more or less 800 meters away from the shore, at around 8:15 a.m. Tuesday.
Robredo’s “executive” plane was the Piper PA-34-200 Seneca I with aircraft registration number “RP-C4431,” one of the three Piper Seneca units owned by AVIATOUR. The other units have the tail numbers RP-C4430 and RP-C4434.

Prior to incident, Sec. Robredo was able to call his wife before the plane crashed in the waters of Masbate.
Reports said Robredo told his wife that the plane had encountered engine problems, but the conversation suddenly got cut-off and Mrs. Robredo was unable to contact her husband thereafter.
