Roxas, in a briefing, said Robredo’s body was found at a depth of 180 feet inside the fuselage of the small Piper plane that crashed off Masbate Saturday afternoon.
"'Yung unang sumabak na mga tech divers 'yung mga puti na nakita natin kahapon, si Matt at ang kanyang team na dalawang babae. At 8:15, kumpirmado na na 'yung isa sa mga katawan ay 'yung kay Sec. Jess Robredo," Roxas said.
PNoy, family informed
“Nakausap ng Pangulo ang misis ni Sec. Jess and informed her about the development,” he said in the briefing, parts of which were aired on dzBB radio.
Roxas said Aquino was “very quiet” when he was first informed about the development.
"'Yung kapatid ni Jess na si Kuya Butch ay nasabihan na rin, at dinadala siya kung saan ngayon 'yung katawan," Roxas said.

"At roughly 8:30 or 8:40, yung bangkay ni Sec. Jess ay naiabot na sa surface at ito ay nilagay sa body bag at kinarga na sa barko ng Coast Guard. Ongoing pa rin ang operation for the other bodies in the fuselage," he said in a press briefing on Tuesday. Roxas said the retrieval was complicated because of the position of the fuselage.
"Fuselage, nakabaligtad kaya medyo kumplikado ang pag-retrieve dahil hindi nila masyadong ma-disturb 'yung fuselage at baka mapunta sa mas malalim na lugar," he said.
"Jess has been underwater for more than two days now. Hindi basta bastang... the change in pressure and change in atmosphere is very complicated," he said.
Roxas added that retrieval operations continue for the two pilots and the fuselage.
"Scuba tanks at iba pang pangangailangan ay pinapadala sa underwater para magpatuloy 'yung retrieval operation," Roxas said.
"Tuloy po ang recovery operations... Hindi ito para kay Sec. Jess lang. The divers and the others are being deployed now to recover the others," he said.
"Sad as it is, we are now in search and recovery, retrieval," Roxas added.
He said the two pilots (pilot Jessup Bahinting and co-pilot Hshitiz Chand) were in the deepest part of the cockpit.

The search for Robredo and the two pilots was on its fourth day Tuesday, after the Piper Seneca bearing Robredo and three others crashed off Masbate Saturday while en route from Cebu to Naga.
Only Robredo's aide, Senior Inspector Jun Abrasado, was rescued from the plane shortly after it crashed off Masbate. –With a report from Carmela G. Lapeña/KG, GMA News
