A girl, whose age has not been revealed, was found by rescuers digging with their bare hands and shovels for survivors. The landslide occurred Tuesday evening in the province of Davao de Oro, in the south of the big island of Mindanao.
More than a hundred people are still missing, according to official data. Landslides are common across much of the Southeast Asian archipelago due to mountainous terrain, heavy rainfall and deforestation from mining, slash-and-burn agriculture and logging.
