A seven-year-old Dash 8 Q400 of Philippine Airlines has suffered minor damage following a runway excursion whilst landing in heavy rain.
The aircraft with the registration RP-C5905 was operating flight PR2680 from Cebu-Mactan Airport to Busuanga Francisco B. Reyes Airport with 57 people onboard. Local reports say the aircraft may have landed late on the runway and because of the excess surface water on the strip, is believed to have aquaplaned before coming to a halt on the grass.
There were no reported injuries among the crew and passengers on the aircraft at the time of the incident.
