A Super Radyo report on Sunday said that the falling object, which looked like a meteor to the residents, was seen at around 7 p.m. Saturday. READ:
This came about 10 days after the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines issued a notice to airmen informing them about the closure of several area navigation routes over the province in anticipation of possible debris drops from the rocket launch by China.
Rizal MDRRMO’s Anthony Lorenzo said they were still gathering information about it, as they only received reports about the incident from local officials around 9 p.m. Saturday.Late last month, the Philippine Space Agency and the CAAP urged the public to take precautionary measures due the expected falling debris from China’s rocket launch on December 29.
Manila recently filed a diplomatic protest against Beijing after a Chinese coastguard vessel in November “forcefully” took control of debris from a Chinese rocket retrieved by a Philippine navy vessel off Pag-asa or Thitu Island. The unburned debris is designed to be discarded as the rocket enters outer space. Falling debris still poses a danger and potential risk to ships, aircraft, fishing boats, and other vessels that will pass through the drop zone.
