Two buses were buried in a landslide in Barangay Masara in Maco, Davao de Oro on Tuesday night, leaving six people dead and 46 others missing.
Three others remained in critical condition yesterday. “Rescue and retrieval operations are ongoing along with other agencies of the government and provincial rescue teams,” the Maco Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) said in a post on Facebook.
The Eastern Mindanao Command (Eastmincom) said workers of Apex Mining Inc. were on the bus waiting to be transported to their homes when the landslide occurred in Barangay Masara.
The Eastmincom said 45 of the 86 employees initially reported buried in the landslide have been rescued.
Eighty-six families or around 600 residents of Barangays Mainit, Tagbaros, Elizalde and Panibasan have been evacuated to safer ground.
