Rescuers are still digging for survivors in the town of Itogon, but much of what they are finding are dead bodies. Many people had been sheltering from Typhoon Mangkhut when the landslide hit, despite reportedly recieveing police warnings to evacuate the area. Locals are still searching, however, often with their bare hands, in hopes that their loved ones will not join the ever-growing number of deaths in the Philippines.
