Divers have recovered the body of Philippine Interior Minister Jesse Robredo, after a small plane carrying him and three others went down off the coast of Masbate City, about 450 km south of Manila. Divers also recovered the bodies of the plane's two pilots from the wreckage. An aide to Robredo survived and was rescued shortly after the Piper Seneca crashed Saturday afternoon.The plane was enroute from Cebu City to Robredo's hometown of Naga City when it began having engine problems. The pilots then diverted to an airport in Masbate, but witnesses says the plane crashed into the sea only one kilometer short of the runway.
