MANILA, Feb. 12 (Xinhuanet) -- At least 20 people were killed by landslide and
flooding in central and southern Philippines during the weekend, said officials.
Local officials in southern Leyte, central Philippines, said 10 people
traveling on two motorcycles were killed in a landslide Sunday morning in
Southern Leyte in central Philippines. The landslide was caused by heavy rains
which softened soil in the mountains.
Flooding in Surigao del Sur and its neighboring provinces in southern Philippines killed 10 people over the weekend, while several million pesos worth of crops, livestock and fisheries were damaged in the flooding, said civil defense officials. Enditem |
