Rescuers have detected signs of life in an avalanche of rubbish that killed at least four workers and left more than 30 others missing in a central Philippines landfill site, and plan to intensify search efforts.

Twelve workers have been rescued with injuries from the huge mound of refuse that collapsed among the buildings of a waste management facility in the village of Binaliw in Cebu City, authorities said.
