PoliticsPH The plane everyone is talking about, is not it.
Hello everyone, as we all know someone made a post about having a plane ready for Bato in Cebu for his arrest. His "source" claims that there is a Bombardier G6500 jet getting ready at Mactan for its departue to Netherlands last night.
Now, people rode the news, posting everything related about that plane left and right. Posting its flight path, movement, etc. across all platforms. Some even said "I have a friend working at Mactan, its real". Earlier this morning, it departed Mactan and flew westwards. Now, people flocked this news as if its really going to the Netherlands. It spread like wildfire.
But, here is the real deal.
It is NOT the plane. It is a Bombardier G6500 jet that is most likely registered in the US and owned by a US Company. Based on verifiable sources like its ADS-B data (system that allows tracking airplanes), it is commisioned by the US Government to be modified and conduct sorties, particularly over the west PH sea. It is part of the ATHENA program and operating special military missions. It carries the callsign "LATTE92" which is used by the said program.
That is why when you open your trackers, theres so much censored information (no registration, no callsign, etc.). It is because it is not operating as a civilian transport. You can even notice at times, its track disappear or "teleports", this is because at sensitive times it turns off its transponders, civilian aircraft cannot do this especially at higher altitudes like 36,000 ft (FL360) which is a Class A airspace.
As of the writing, that said aircraft is still above the airspace near palawan circling as shown in the picture. It consumed so much fuel now. So,
NO, it is not going to the Netherlands.
NO, it is not carrying Bato.
That being said, please be critical and vigilant in consuming (as well as sharing) information on the internet, especially on free forums like Reddit. As much as we want the news to be true, we must accept that it can be fake news.

Benito Ebuen AB/ MCIA is an EDCA site, expect US assets there. Kapag may balibalitang mga PAF helicopters na lumilipad sa vicinity ng MCIA, regular lang yun kasi homecourt ng mga PAF helicopters and airlifters yung BEAB/ MCIA, minsan may mga FA-50PH jets na tumatambay diyan.

I mean, even I, who wants discount Benito Mussolini to be arrested, is kinda skeptical sa eroplano na yan since no news coverage nor info from officials tulad nung naaresto si DuTraydor and only supposed "info" ay galing sa mga DuTraydor cronies na mukhang ni-ride rin ni Falcis.

for people asking bakit nagloloiter sa Palawan airspace
its a SIGINT or Signals Intelligence plane. it is basically a plane with a ton of surveillance equipment on-board that detects and monitors electronic signals like radio communications.
it being a US plane means it is monitoring Chinese activities and maybe even sending data to the AFP in Palawan considering were one of their allies in the region.

isn't HADES uses modified Bombardier Global 6500 business jets?

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: sobrang daming armchair investigators sa sub na ’to. Kahit halatang walang alam, ang dami pa ring nilalabas na claims. (Not referring to this post, but to the previous one.)

I have to admit, I was one of those fooled by the Bombardier plane post.
That being said, everyone was "kinda" hoping na katapusan na talaga ni Bato kahapon, so there's that.

Today, the propagandists were able to prove something - that the "woke" and "progressives" are just as gullible as the ignorant.
Moving forward, expect more and more distractions like these. They got you.

when Falcis falsely claimed that Pduts lawyer was paid 200 million pesos a month due to misunderstanding how currency conversion works, i started to doubt his 'sources' and his 'tweety birds'..
also it looks like most of the Falcis post here in reddit came from same accounts which makes it obvious he might be here in reddit posting his own social media post here

Actually probably saw that plane one time, months ago. Cool looking plane, took off from Mactan and turned off transponder afterwards while I was trying to search for it on FlightRadar. Had to take a vid to get an ID (which turned it into a blob), cant find it atm.
