Rescued child raises hope of finding more survivors in Philippine landslide

Rescue workers saved a child more than two days after a landslide struck a southern Philippine province and dug several more bodies from the debris on Friday, bringing the death toll from the disaster to 15, authorities said.
The landslide happened on Tuesday night outside a gold mining site in the town of Maco in the province of Davao de Oro, burying homes, including three buses and a jeep that were supposed to ferry employees of the mining company.
Provincial authorities said the child who survived was in stable condition, raising hopes that more survivors would be found. The number of missing remained at 110.
Disaster officials previously reported that two buses, carrying 27 passengers were buried, but mining operator Apex Mining said in a statement on Friday that four vehicles were found buried in the landslide.
