A couple and their three-year-old daughter got buried by a landslide in Barangay Kahusayan, Kitaotao, Bukidnon.

They were identified as Ryan Cortez, 42; his wife Elizabeth, 33; and their three-year-old daughter.

Responders have not found them as of this writing.

A rescue operation was launched immediately after the incident on October 15, 2024 but it was suspended the following day due to heavy rains.

Search and retrieval continued on Thursday, October 17.

Authorities vowed not to give up until those buried are found.

The couple’s other daughter who is 14 years old survived and was brought to a hospital in Quezon town.

Some other residents were also injured during the landslide.

Motorists bound for Davao are advised to take extra caution as there are roads with only one lane passable because of the landslide.
