    Now that's going to be interesting getting that out of there! The road down there has many bends and is very narrow,reckon the only way would be some sort of barge.

    He may even get off from there at low tide.

    Floats would seem like a great idea for a light airplane, especially in the Philippines. But floats have several huge drawbacks: they greatly decrease performance thus making the airplane slower and using much more EXPENSIVE fuel; the floats often cost as much as the airplane itself; aluminum hates salt water, so using them as a matter of course increases maintenance costs exponentially for the floats and the airplane...and amphibious floats are easily more costly than the airplane itself and, again, raises costs of maintenance and fuel even that much more.

    It's off the beach now anyway,I spotted it on the back of a truck in San Miguel in the petron stn a few day ago,wings off and looked like the tail plane was slightly damaged.
    Should imagine it's back in the airport now.

    Give an A+ to the pilot as that was a difficult landing, and no one was hurt. I know as I once had to make an emergency landing in a cornfield.
