Asian Spirit plane overshoots Catarman runway; none hurt

AN ASIAN Spirit plane overshot the Catarman runway in Samar upon arrival at 6:46 a.m. Monday.
There were no reported injuries among the 32 passengers and six crewmembers of Flight 6K 587 and the aircraft suffered only minimal damage.
Asian Spirit Inc. airport operations manager Rodolfo Garcia said an initial investigation showed the plane skidded due to water on the runway as it was drizzling when the plane touched down.
Probably more than drizzling as there is a tropical depression just NE of Mindinao at present, which is just a bit south of Samar.

This type is the only jet they have at the moment. Think they obtained two of them. other fleet comprises various props: BAe-ATP, DHC-7, CN-235, YS-11 and Let 410s

Ready....thanks for that info! I've been wondering who the heck has been flying the 146 over my house every morning! Had an idea it might be asian spirit as they tend to operate into alot of short fields - and the 146 is good for that.
Perhaps this crew / operator should review the information in these links:
ALAR Tool Kit Resources, section 8.
Managing Threats and Errors During Approach and Landing (PPT 2.7Mb)
Considering that there has been several overrun accidents this year perhaps we all should revise our knowledge of wet / flooded runway operations.
