A pilot and a student were killed on Sunday morning when a two-seater plane crashed in the Philippines' Pangasinan province, north of the capital Manila, local media reported.

The training aircraft crashed into an open field in the town of Lingayen, killing the two at the scene, multiple local media outlets cited civil aviation authorities as saying.

It was the second aircraft crash in Philippine this month.

On March 5, two Philippine air force pilots were killed when their aircraft crashed during an anti-insurgency mission in the Bukidnon province.

In February, a US military-contracted plane crashed in a rice field in the southern Maguindanao del Sur province, killing all four people on board.
