MANILA, February 20 (Xinhua) — At least seven people have been killed in landslides triggered by heavy rains in the southern Philippine provinces of Davao de Oro and Davao Oriental, local authorities said.

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) said its team has recovered three bodies from rubble in Moncayo town in Davao de Oro province, where a landslide occurred Thursday night.

"Authorities continue to assess the situation in the area to ensure the safety of residents and rescuers," FCC head Richard Gordon wrote on social media.

A family of four was also trapped under rubble in the town of Mati in Davao Oriental province, where a landslide occurred Friday morning, the city's fire department reported on social media.

R. Gordon said heavy rains triggered flooding and landslides in parts of Mindanao on Friday morning, affecting communities in the provinces of Surigao del Sur, Davao de Oro, and Davao Oriental. He said FRC offices in the affected areas are on high alert, conducting continuous monitoring and responding urgently if necessary.
