Landslide in Davao de Oro leaves dozens missing, injures survivors

A landside in a Davao de Oro barangay has left dozens missing and caused injuries, with some survivors recounting their harrowing experiences.

Forty-nine-year-old Cirillo sustained bruises after being thrown ten meters by the rushing soil and was buried for almost an hour before helping in rescue efforts.

JL, who was on his way home when the landslide struck, described the terrifying moments as he ran from falling rocks.

A three-year-old girl and her father, Orlando, a security guard at the mine, were found alive after warnings of potential danger were issued by Orlando earlier.

Families of missing victims have been anxiously waiting for news; Grace lost both her son Jesson and daughter-in-law Maria, while Bernadette is still hopeful but losing hope for her boyfriend Joseph.
