At least five people were killed and seven were missing Tuesday as torrential rains triggered a landslide and widespread flooding in the Philippine capital and nearby areas, officials said.
A man was killed and six others are missing and feared dead in a suburban Manila landslide, while four drowned and another man was missing in flooding in nearby Bulacan and Bataan provinces, civil defence officials told AFP.
There's something wrong with a country's capital being that vulnerable to flooding. It makes you wonder if there is any flood control or water proofing at all.
