SUBIC, Zambales—The death toll from landslides and floods induced by the “habagat†(southwest monsoon) in the provinces of Zambales and Bataan rose to 30 on Tuesday as rescue workers continued digging up bodies buried by mud and debris in the towns of Subic, Castillejos and San Marcelino in Zambales.
Zambales Rep. Jeffrey Khonghun said areas in his district, from Olongapo to San Marcelino town, suffered the most as heavy rains from Sunday to Monday triggered landslides and floods.
Khonghun said 18 people died in separate landslides in the boundary of the villages of Wawandue and Cawag and in Barangay (village) San Isidro in Subic while four others died in another landslide in the village of Aglao in San Marcelino town.
