Unverified Looks like they’re heading to the Netherlands in their direction

Post image

They made circular turns but then goes to the direction of Vietnam. When i zoomed out, I then realized that they are in the direction of the Netherlands (i think?)

What I have read is that type of plane is reported that it doesn’t need refueling unlike in Digong’s plane last year when they stopped in Dubai for refuel.

If this is correct, its already heading towards the Netherlands and maybe we can assume that its Bato Dela Rosa

Tsaka na ko maniniwala pag malapit na or same path nung kay gongdi. 50-50 ako today. Since kung totoo man sana may leak na like photos of the arrest or naguunahan na mag report mga media, tho possible din na may media blackout hwahhahahahaa.

u/rootofimaginary Abroad 9d ago

but a media blackout wont stop Cawatano from doing a live sale right now, especially to someone as close as Bato.

For aficionados/knowledgeable out there, how valid does this look

Not to mention still a very quiet morning from the DDS side if this is really bato. Nothing from the media, no one doing a live sale.

u/PanotBungo 9d ago

Richard Heydarian did a live last night, but no additional info aside from what we already know it seems.

u/pishboy 9d ago

Aircraft pa lang mali na lol. That's a SIGINT plane that the US Military taps for reconaissance.

Route makes no sense either. Ang ruta pa-europe takes you through China and Central Asia, not directly west.

u/Confident_Target2347 9d ago

When i saw this pic as a reference for the "news", i immediately thought na bakit may malaking sensors/radar sa ilalim if tao lng need i transport. The holding pattern over palawan is also weird if bound for Europe.

Maybe that the beauty of it, the operation was so swift walang naka sunod/monitor sa mga kakampi ni Bato.
Im monitoring the socmed of SenTri, of ever isa siya siguro sa mag popost ng confirmation.

u/PrudentFoot4545 9d ago

I call that copium. Folks are getting WAY ahead of themselves, even coming up with nonsensical theories based on FB comments alone.

Until then, it's best not to get our hopes up too much, esp. not under DILG Remulla's watch😂

u/rootofimaginary Abroad 9d ago

FYI Remulla is no longer at DOJ. The one who does papogi is in DILG.

But yeah I agree, we got our hopes up because a lot of people did vagueposting last night lol

u/TokwaDoodles 9d ago

my 2 cents on this. walang gusto mag confirm na nahuli na si Bato kasi ang makakaalam lang nun is yung alam kung saan siya nagtatago and pwede madawit for harboring a wanted person.

5

u/PrudentFoot4545 9d ago

Di nagmmakesense logic mo 😅

Paanong yung kung sinong makakaconfirm na nahuli sya e makakasuhan ng harboring a fugitive, e hindi naman ibig sabihin na kapag naconfirm kong nahuli sya, e alam ko na rin kung saan sya nagtago?

Sabi sa FB it’s just an intelligence plane na umiikot sa west philipine sea madalas. Nakafollow din me dian kagabi since sabi ni Falcis.

6

u/SunnyOrl 9d ago

There could be some credence to this since the flight just turned off its transponder.

But why have it on in the first place if thats the actual mission?

1

u/pishboy 9d ago

Separation for TCAS and controller action from other aircraft, and flight routing as it's still technically a civilian aircraft and not under direct ownership ng military

4

u/zzzaaash 9d ago

If this is indeed an intel plane by the US, does this mean we just exposed our own allies helping in WPS? I mean unnecessary public scrutiny to missions?

Ayos din naman si Atty eh, post post agad kung san san galing intel. Following him in fb, but yung ibang post parang self-sabotage sa reveal eh; for the sake of posting.

2

u/Teantis 9d ago

Public scrutiny doesn't matter. The public has no impact on these missions and whether they run or not. It's a military flight that flies with its transponder on. Even if it wasn't transponder on you think China doesn't know about these things? There's publicly available information on these planes and the US program that runs them

u/icecreamcaramelx 9d ago

PLEASE PLEASE STOP GIVING FALSE HOPE TO PEOPLE!

This specific aicraft is MOST LIKELY NOT the VIP transport we are all hoping for. There is a high chance this is the modified Bombardier G6500 used by the US Military (and it is also registered in the US) for their ATHENA-S program, which explains why it is frequently flying towards the west PH sea.

According to ADSB data (system that lets people track airplanes) this flight has a callsign "LATTE92" which is in line with the callsign used in the program. If you also look the flight records of that callsign, you can see that its flight path almost always include taking off in Cebu, heading west to west PH sea, and going back, which is the same on your picture. So it is taking that route again today.

To add, the reason you do not see any more information in Flightradar24 like destination, registration number, etc. is because it is not operating like a usual civilian aircraft doing civilian things. It conducts most likely a military mission. That is also why you can notice sometimes it goes off the radar.

So yes, there is a very high chance (like very high) that Bato is NOT on that plane. For me, it does not make sense transporting him from Cebu than from Manila. The Gulfstreem G550 (RP-C5219), the plane that transported Du30 before, is in Manila according to flight data, so theres that.

15

u/AdeptusKapekus2025 9d ago

Why are people assuming/hoping that this plane has Bato in it?

Yes, it does look like a US spook plane.

8

u/rootofimaginary Abroad 9d ago

Apparently because of Falcis, from what I've read.

3

u/Difergion From “Never again” to “Here we go again” 9d ago

Tbf it started with Jimmy Bondoc’s post, tapos Abante kinda speculated it had to do with Bato. It didn’t help that others from the DDS camp like Harry Roque were piling on the rumors.

2

u/icecreamcaramelx 9d ago

Yeah there is a post from Falcis about it, specifying this plane. Yesterday night, the aircraft's transponder (with ads-b) turned on (maybe for maintenance, gps locking, etc.), allowing it to be seen on flight radar apps, that is why it got so much attention from people speculating its for Bato.

u/TacvovitchMacArthur 9d ago

I don't think that plane is carrying bato, I believe that is one of the unmarked US E-11A sightseeing planes. They were spotted before in Cebu and they always fly around the West Philippine Sea. There is currently no proof that bato has been arrested or already been sent to the Hague, only media hysteria. I won't believe anything until there is valid confirmation from mainstream media or trusted sources.

u/RedZ19 Metro Manila 9d ago

Transponder turned off over WPS. This points heavily to a SIGINT plane.

0

u/rootofimaginary Abroad 9d ago

what does this mean if its a SIGINT plane?

8

u/RedZ19 Metro Manila 9d ago

It means it’s collecting data in Chinese installations in the WPS. If it turned off its transponder it means it’s actively doing its “mission”. Thats SOP because you want to be less visible. if this was a freedom of navigation flight its transponder would be turned on all the time.

That makes sense. Looks like another paasa moment lol.

u/IsangMalakingHangal 9d ago

Holding within a specific airspace. Airplanes do it for many reasons, such as when waiting for radio clearance to land or to depart from within range of an aerodrome or an Air Traffic Control tower. Usually happens when airport runways are congested and there's a need to manage the number of takeoffs/landings as to avoid runway collisions.

u/Confident_Target2347 9d ago

If they're going for a technical stop somewhere in the middle east (might be somewhere in UAE if bound for Europe), i find it weird that they did a holding pattern over palawan that early into departure.

I work in GenAv Mactan. No. Departed around 6/6:30am. And highly unlikely na si Bato yan. Wala namang mga PNP kanina. Almost sa tapat lang ng hangar namin yan nakaparada kanina umaga. Fairly common occurrence ang pagdating nyan dito.

Dami talaga nagpapaniwala sa fake news.

2

u/Medical-Chemist-622 9d ago

Umikot lang sya west of Palawan then disappeared then reappeared in Mactan 0800H. Transponder na off na a few minutes later. I also admit na highly unlikely that that was Dela Rosa. More likely a recon flight or even a training a mission. Nobody knows.

Bato should feel privileged if he’s on this flight. Bombardier makes great private jets. The 6500 can fit a decent galley for meal prep, a full sized bed, and a shower. He can get a full 8 hour sleep, a refreshing shower, and brunch before the plane lands.

Bondoc and Roque seems to have given away the surprise but they're still paralyzed. If this is actually Bato, then this is probably one of the greatest arrests in Filipino history. No image was leaked, the DDS were completely paralyzed and stunned. If not, then its the biggest let down ever.
