An international group of scientists is planning to hold a second conference on the
Guinsaugon landslide that occurred in Southern Leyte three years ago.
Guinsaugon, a village in St. Bernard town in Southern Leyte, was hit by a massive landslide that buried in mud and boulders almost the entire village and killed about a thousand of its residents on February 17, 2006.
St. Bernard Mayor Rico C. Rentuza said the International Consortium on Lanslide (ICL) signified interest in holding another conference on the Guinsaugon landslide in their town.
The ICL, created at the Kyoto Symposium in 2002 is an international non-governmental and non-profit scientific organization that is supported by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
