A landslide left at least six villagers dead and 46 others missing, including 27 miners waiting in two buses for a ride home, in a gold-mining village in the southern Philippines, officials said Wednesday. Eight miners who were among those waiting jumped out of the bus windows or dashed away and survived. A third bus had already left.


Army troops, police and volunteers rescued 31 villagers who were injured when the landslide hit the mountain village of Masara in the remote town of Maco in Davao de Oro province Tuesday night. They resumed the search on Wednesday morning after suspending it the night before due to fears of more landslides, officials said.
