At least eight people died and three were injured when an air force helicopter crashed into a city in the central Philippines, police said.
The UH-1H "Huey" helicopter crashed into a busy street in the Pajo district of Lapu-Lapu on the island of Mactan.
The dead included seven passengers in two motorcycle taxis and a member of the helicopter's crew.
A radio reporter at the scene told how the helicopter's rotors "chopped up" a taxi and maimed those travelling in it.
