BAGUIO CITY, Philippines – The bodies of two small-scale miners were dug up from a landslide that struck a gold-rush site at the boundary of this city and Tuba town in Benguet yesterday morning.
The bodies of Elmer Domines, 42, and Jonafe Pandosen, 61, were retrieved at around noontime yesterday.
Superintendent Engelbert Soriano, deputy director for operations of the Baguio police, said another miner, Marcos Kaysuen Banigen, 42, was earlier rescued at the landslide site.
As he was being rushed to the Baguio General Hospital, Banigen told rescuers that two colleagues – Domines and Pandosen – were also buried.
The rescuers raced against time to save the two but only found their bodies, Soriano said.
In August 2009, 19 miners were killed during a landslide at the height of typhoon “Kiko.”
In August 2011, another landslide killed three miners in the area. –Artemio Dumlao, The Philippine Star
