Schools and government offices closed in Manila and several northern provinces. In Benguet, a hillside collapsed onto a restaurant, killing two employees and leaving one survivor. Two other people were killed in a landslip in neighbouring Rizal province the previous day. The depression, formerly Tropical Storm Kujira, was moving towards the Philippine Sea with sustained winds of about 55 kilometres per hour. Officials warned that saturated ground could bring more flooding and landslides. The New Indian Express stated an overall death toll of five, although its own incident details describe four deaths. The Hindu also reported four. ## Coverage - thehindu.com - newindianexpress.com Tags: disaster response, heavy rain, landslips, Philippines, tropical depression Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/landslips-kill-four-as-heavy-rains-hit-northern-philippines/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
