A landslide hits a village in the southern Philippines, leaving 7 dead and 48 missing

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Officials in the Philippines say a landslide in the south has left at least seven villagers dead and 48 others missing. A search resumed Wednesday after it was suspended overnight due to fears of more landslides. Torrential rains had swamped the region in recent weeks but the weather had been clear in previous days. The missing include miners sitting in buses waiting to be driven home. Several jumped out windows or dashed away and survived.
