The bodies of a missing couple, Ely and Thelma Ubatay, vegetable traders, were found locked in an embrace in a landslide site in Quezon, Bukidnon.

The couple, both 60 years old, had been missing since Saturday night, October 18, when a landslide caused a section of the Bukidnon-Davao road to collapse while they were riding a tricab.

Rescue teams, aided by sniffer dogs, located the couple buried under soil and debris after a five-day search and retrieval operation.

Three backhoes were utilized to expedite the recovery process, and the extensive effort involved multiple agencies and volunteers.

The couple's remains have been turned over to their family.
