LEGAZPI CITY: A week after the Cessna plane crashed near the crater of Mayon Volcano on February 18, a composite team of government responders and mountaineers retrieved the remains of the plane's four passengers on Saturday, February 25.

The team recovered the two bodies in the morning and two in the afternoon after establishing the anchor bolts to help the responders bring the cadavers downslope.
