Rescuers retrieved the body of Rommel Gumatin, 45, in Barangay Mt. Diwata at 1 p.m., the Monkayo municipal government said in a post on its official Facebook page.

Gumatin and six of his relatives were attending a prayer worship at a house in Purok 19 when the ground collapsed. Four children aged one, three, nine and 10 were among the dead.

A one-year-old boy, who was thrown out of the house when the landslide occurred, survived.

The Monkayo municipal government said all the victims were accounted for.

The landslide occurred amid continuous rain caused by the shear line.
