TACLOBAN CITY - Six more families were feared to have been buried in a landslide in Brgy. Bunga, Baybay City, Leyte, Sunday night (April 10).
City Councilor Mark Unlu-cay said as of Monday morning, search and retrieval operations are ongoing for the individuals that might have been trapped in their houses when the landslide occurred around midnight.
Houses have been covered in mud while the heavy downpour rendered rescue efforts difficult.
"We fear with the multiple landslides reported because the typhoon is not yet over," Unlu-cay said.
He said they are still validating reports of multiple landslides in Brgy. Gacat, Mailhi, Kantagnos, Bubon, Villa Sol, and Amguhan.
On Sunday, a family of five was also reported missing from a landslide in Brgy. Can-ipa.
The son of Visayas State University President Edgardo Tulin has also been reported missing. He was last seen on the beach in the afternoon.
