04:02 The former mountain was covered by trees.
04:05 Now, it looks like a white sea.
04:07 Ground Zero was closed to the public.
04:11 The middle of the town is here.
04:13 In between, there is a small community.
04:15 There are dormitories for workers here or people who work as GTs.
04:20 Rescue operations are still ongoing.
04:23 The surroundings are quiet and the only thing you can hear is the sound of a backhoe.
04:27 [Beeping]
04:33 And the cries of families waiting for the truck.
04:37 [Speaking in Tagalog]
04:40 Sometimes, the ambulance sounds.
04:44 [Siren]
04:51 Grace, 54 years old, has been waiting for the search and rescue operation for three days.
04:59 She heard about her son, Jesson, and his wife, Maria, who are both workers in the town.
05:06 They filmed the house and the roof.
05:10 [Crying]
05:11 They also filmed the landslide.
05:12 Yesterday, someone was surprised by the impact.
05:16 [Beeping]
05:17 Until this Friday, Grace heard that some of the bodies were retrieved.
05:23 Despite the possibility that this is what she is looking for, Grace still went to the funeral home.
05:31 The two bodies that were found were confirmed to be Jesson and Maria.
05:39 They were together until their last breath.
05:42 [Music]
05:50 I confirmed that it was my mother and father because of the clothes and the intestines of my mother.
05:55 Of course, it hurts but we will fight for our brother because it's just the two of us.
06:00 Bernadette is holding the portrait of her beloved Joseph, who was also one of the miners who were rescued by the flood.
06:08 I lost everything. I lost my husband.
06:13 Bernadette hopes that her husband is still alive.
06:16 They are planning to get married.
06:19 We are planning to get married.
06:23 I hope that my brother is alive.
06:26 He is not in a bad situation. He is alive.
06:29 He is not dead.
06:31 [Crying]
06:35 We have been looking for him for so many days.
06:40 I have been looking for him for so long.
06:44 I have been looking for him for so long.
06:47 I have been looking for him for so long.
06:52 He is not here. He is not in the house.
06:56 He is not here.
06:58 I have been looking for him for so long.
07:01 I have been looking for him for so long.
07:06 The landslide of February 6 is the third in just two decades.
07:12 The first was in 2007 and it was repeated the following year or in 2008 when 25 people were brought back to life.
07:23 There are different factors contributing to the landslide.
07:26 One of them is the heavy rainfall. The DNR, through the Mines and Euscises Bureau,
07:31 has created a geohazard map of the entire Philippines.
07:35 We can see here that our area or our houses are prone to landslides or floods.
07:43 The cause of the landslide is natural, which means that it's about the steep slope of the area.
07:49 We continue to give caution to the public because disasters, we cannot really know when it will strike.
07:58 We cannot disregard the fact that mining has nothing to do with the continuous cases of landslides and erosions in the whole Compostela, in the whole Davao region.
08:08 Because mining itself changes the landscape.
08:12 Either they cut down trees or they dig up mountains.
08:16 In both cases, the land changes and the forest is no longer able to absorb the water it used to be able to absorb.
08:26 That's why there is instability in the topography of the area.
08:30 You can verify the data, the facts here in the regulatory agencies.
08:34 We have the MGB, the DNR, it can really be proved that this happens outside the mining activity of APEX.
08:42 Meanwhile, on the fourth day of the rescue and retrieval operations, many more deaths are found.
08:51 This Friday, the rescue dog, Apa,
08:55 seems to be in a bad mood.
08:59 There is something that the rescuers want to teach in this part of the landslide,
09:05 in the land where people passed through, in the middle of nowhere.
09:11 There is a glimmer of hope.
09:14 A miracle, despite the anxiety in the mine for more than 50 hours.
09:35 The three-year-old boy escaped death.
09:40 The angel of the landslide is Chin Chin.
09:44 Orlando's youngest son, a security guard in the mine.
09:51 He was in jail, he was not far away.
09:53 He was walking, he was not there.
09:55 He was just serving, he was just a little bit angry.
09:57 He was just about to arrive, maybe he was going to get in.
10:00 He was already there, he was already serving.
10:02 We were just exploring.
10:04 We were just exploring, we were just looking for a place to live.
10:06 We were just looking for a place to live.
10:07 We were just looking for a place to live.
10:08 The boy was able to live.
10:10 God is really good.
10:12 They were having dinner when suddenly the land collapsed.
10:16 Orlando was able to cover one of his children, but his wife and child were saved.
10:21 Chin Chin was saved, but his wife and eldest son were swept away.
10:31 I was not able to recover. My mind was still in a mess.
10:34 We have insurance, burial assistance, and additional assistance for them to use immediately.
10:41 We also provided to the victims that even if they are not employed, we will still sue them.
10:48 Meanwhile, yesterday morning, Bernadette returned to the place.
10:55 This is the day when she will finally be able to find her boyfriend, Joseph.
11:01 She will continue to wait, even if it means her life will be in danger.
11:08 I was happy when I heard the news, I was so happy to see him again.
11:14 I was so happy to see him again.
11:23 [Music]
11:28 The rescuers even gave up their lives.
11:31 [Music]
11:36 They were hoping that they will be saved.
