Search-and-recovery personnel kept digging through the mud to recover more bodies from a landslide that struck a southern Philippine mining village last week, as the death toll reached at least 68 with 51 more people still missing, officials said Monday.
Hopes of finding more survivors are fading two days after a mudslide engulfed buses carrying dozens of miners in a gold-mining community in the southern Philippines, with unstable ground posing an added danger for rescuers.
