Honor guards carry the flag-draped casket bearing the remains of Philippine Ambassador to Pakistan Domingo D. Lucenario Jr. from a Pakistan C130 plane to waiting family members, colleagues, and friends at the Villamor Air Base in Pasay City, May 13, 2015. Lucenario and five others died Friday when a helicopter they were riding in crashed on a school building in Gilgit-Baltistan’s Naltar Valley in Pakistan.
Tearfully awaiting the arrival of the remains at the tarmac were Lucenario’s widow Nida and their two children. They were accompanied by Justice Secretary Leila de Lima, a family friend. From Villamor Air Base, the casket was taken to the Arlington Memorial Chapel in Quezon City. MB
