The Huey was on a resupply mission for the Army’s 403rd Brigade in Malaybalay, Bukidnon with five military personnel and two members of the local militial on board.
The pilots encountered engine trouble and were trying to save the helicopter and avoid crashing in a populated area. Sadly all on board did not survive the crash.
