Fifteen deaths were recorded in the shearline-induced landslide in the Davao region, as reported by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) on Sunday, January 21.
In a situational report obtained by DZRH News, NDRRMC stated that 15 individuals reportedly perished, five others were injured, and no person went missing.
The agency, however, noted that only eight of the 15 deaths were verified.
The five reported deaths in Davao de Oro and two in Davao City are still undergoing a verification process.
On Saturday, January 21, the Municipality of Monkayo confirmed 11 deaths in Brgy. Mt. Diwata.
Seven family members were among the 11 victims who perished in the tragic incident.
Meanwhile, Vice President Sara Duterte paid a visit in the wake of the slain Gumatin family as seen in the photos posted by the Monkayo Municipal on Facebook.
Duterte reportedly extended her condolences and donated 12 sacks of rice and cash assistance to the bereaved family.
"Our Vice President also offered a short prayer for the deceased," the Monkayo Municipal said.
