from a comment i read on the Philippine red cross post on facebook it seems that it caught fire and exploded.

seems that this company has serious issues

Another Lionair crash

Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) Deputy Director Don Mendoza said in the press briefing that the aircraft was "airworthy" and that the pilot's license was current.
But he said CAAP would consider grounding Lionair's planes, since this is the second fatal incident involving the company in nearly 7 months.
On September 1, 2019, a medical evacuation plane also operated by Lionair crashed in Laguna, killing all 9 people aboard.
