Rescuers have dug out more bodies from landslides as floodwaters recede in the Philippines, raising to 30 the death toll from monsoon rains worsened by Typhoon Usagi.
Twenty-seven people were killed after rain-drenched hillsides collapsed on four mountainous villages around the northern town of Subic on Sunday, the civil defence office in the region said.
Two other people drowned, while an elderly man succumbed to the cold, it said in a written update.
Subic is about 80 kilometres (51 miles) northwest of Manila.
The office said a woman and a four-year-old girl remain missing near San Marcelino, close to Subic, where rescuers are still digging in a neighbourhood hit by one of the landslips.
