A search was underway on Wednesday for 27 miners missing after a landslide struck buses and houses in a gold-mining village in the southern Philippines, officials said.
It`s not clear how many people may have been trapped in their homes when part of a mountainside cascaded down Masara village Tuesday night in the far-flung town of Maco in Davao de Oro province, provincial government spokesman Edward Macapili said, but 11 residents were injured.
