Philippine Consulate officials visited two victims of Asiana Flight 214 this weekend in San Francisco. Filipino American couple Ruben and Belen Vallero originally went home after the crash, but they both sustained internal injuries and had to be taken to Stanford Hospital.
According to the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs, original reports that the Valleros both in their 70’s were in critical condition were incorrect.
They told consulate officials they felt fortunate to have survived the crash.
Both were released from the hospital yesterday.
