The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) yesterday announced its utilization of United States air assets from two sites of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) to help in the search and rescue (SAR) operations for missing divers in Tubbataha Reef. Three US air assets stationed at Antonio Bautista Air Base in Puerto Princesa and Benito Ebuen Air Base in Mactan, Cebu are being used to assist in the ongoing mission to find four missing Filipino divers after their boat sank in Tubbataha last Sunday.
