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.
