TACLOBAN CITY – A mother and her two children were rescued from a landslide that buried their house in Purok 3, Barangay Bunuanan, Catbalogan City, Samar on Friday, Oct. 28.

The landslide occurred at 8:28 p.m. due to heavy rains from severe tropical storm “Paeng” in Region 8 or Eastern Visayas.
They were trapped inside their house which collapsed and covered by mud.
The victims were pulled out from the debris by the city rescue team around 11:20 p.m.
In Ormoc City, a five-year-old boy reportedly drowned in Barangay Juaton.
