Reports from Philippines Star Dated December 19, 2017 ..
"Rescuers used bulldozers to dig through mountains of mud in Eastern Visayas yesterday in a frantic search for more people missing after Tropical Storm Urduja (international name Kai-Tak) triggered landslides that have killed at least 40 persons. Most of the dead were in the island province of Biliran, which suffered the worst of the landslides, with many homes buried. Rescuers searching for survivors on the island were not optimistic. “There is an assumption that the missing are already dead,” Sofronio Dacillo, a provincial disaster risk reduction and management official, told AFP. -PhilStar.com
