MANILA -- A group of 86 rescuers, policemen, soldiers and medical teams are still searching for the remains of 3 persons who are missing due to a landslide that took place in Barangay Don Salvador Lopez in Mati City, Davao Oriental on Wednesday.

The 3 victims were identified as Jethro Paglanson Quilat, 14; Roberto Pelaez Ampo, 52; and John Gel Casaligan, 15.

The landslide was triggered by non-stop rains that have been affecting parts of Visayas and Mindanao.

Meanwhile, the body of 62-year-old Cristituto Magmusa Paglanson was recovered from the rubble caused by the landslide on Wednesday afternoon.
