Officials said on Tuesday that a Philippine Air Force Jerfly was missing during a night match to support the ground bakers who fought against two pilots, and a widespread discovery.
The FA -50 Jet lost communication with other Air Force flights around Monday midnight before reaching the target area. Other aircraft managed to return to an airport in the central Cebu Province, according to the Air Force, which provided no information.
According to a Philippine military official, the incident occurred in the southern Philippine province during a rebellious mission against communist guerrillas. “We expect them to discover the plane soon, and we ask that you join the prayer during this critical moment”, said Air Force spokesman Colonel Ma.Consuelo Castillo. It was not clear that the remaining FA -50 years would be on the ground after the incident.
As of 2015, the Philippines bought 12 FA -50 Multi Mur bag fighter jets from Korea Aerospace Industries Limited in South Korea for 18.9 billion Pesos ($ 331 million), which led to the largest contract under a military modernization program.

A Philippine Air Force FA-50 fighter jet with two pilots disappeared during a night combat mission, supporting ground forces against militants in the south. A military official confirmed that the mission was against communist insurgents but withheld details. Air force spokesperson Col. Ma. Consuelo Castillo urged prayers for the pilots’ safe return. The Philippines acquired 12 FA-50 jets from South Korea in 2015 for $331 million as part of its modernization efforts.
The authorities continued to expand extensive search efforts by using both air and ground operations to detect the missing aircraft. The phenomenon increases concerns for high intensity war missions and operating risk for protecting the personnel of the Air Force. The Philippine government has not yet announced whether an investigation will be initiated into potential technical errors or external threats.
