Aircraft Wreck
Reportedly, a plane crashed in the sea in the vicinity of Paoay. Lucy Guillermo adds:
"A plane wreck, possibly a P-38 somewhere in the area of Paoay. Two fishermen I talked with attest that strewn metals are embedded on the corals and sand. He would always see the wreckage when they go fishing in the corals about 50-60' deep."
