A Cessna plane carrying seven people, including two mayors, made an emergency landing in Ilagan town after its engine failed Sunday. The pilots and the five passengers were safe although a bit “traumatized,” said Police Superintendent Roberto Bucad, spokesman of the Isabela Provincial Police. Bucad said the Cessna light plane – owned by Cyclone Airways – landed at a farmland between the far-flung villages of Cabiseria 25 and Cabiseria 22 in Ilagan town at a little past 1 P.M. On board were Divilacan Mayor Venturito Bulan, Maconacon Mayor Erlinda Domingo, Divilacan health officer Levi Caramat, a woman known only as Mrs. Aggulin and Don Celso Michael Domingo. The plane left Maconacon airport at about 1 P.M. and was expected to land at Cauayan City Airport within 35 minutes. “It is God's will that we landed safe. I shivered at the thought of a possible crash but we prayed hard and our prayers were answered,” Bulan said.
