Six scent-tracking dogs were deployed to help the search and rescue team locate the missing Cessna plane in Isabela.

The AK-9 Man Dog Sniffer Volunteer Organization searched on Saturday, Feb. 18, parts of the Sierra Madre in Divilacan, Isabela. 

The area was first identified as the possible location of the missing Cessna 206 plane.

It’s been 26 days since the Cessna 206 plane was declared missing, however, members of the search and rescue team have yet to find the aircraft.

The six-seater aircraft went missing on Jan. 24 in the Province of Isabela after taking off at 2:15 p.m.

It was expected to land around 3:30 p.m. at the town of Maconacon.
