Bell Aircraft 30323

30323

I am trying to find out the cause of this helicopter's demise. I was recently in the Philippines and shown a piece of wreckage that had the nameplate on it. It showed the type as a 205A and the serial number 30323, registered with the PAF.
Thus far I have been unable to locate any information on the cause or outcome of the crash which apparently occurred on 13 April 2001 in Ifugao province, Northern Luzon.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what happened or how to find out more information?

Thanks, Phil

Google found a newspaper article about the crash. The helicopter crashed into a fog-shrouded ravine, all 11 people on board survived the crash with relatively minor injuries. The brief article is on page 2:

I'd like to add the search that I typed into Google to find the newspaper article:
