Tropical storm kills 11 in Philippines
A tropical storm set off landslides and swamped farmland in the north-eastern Philippines, leaving at least 11 people dead and nine others missing, officials said today.
Rescuers recovered the bodies of nine people, including two children, from piles of mud and debris that cascaded into a coastal village from a mountain in Magallanes yesterday, burying 12 houses as residents slept, regional disaster official Bernardo Alejandro said.
