The operator of a backhoe was buried after, at 12:42 p.m. m. of this Thursday, a landslide occurred in the Trigal Group property, in San Miguel de Santo Domingo de Heredia.

The preliminary report of the Fire Department detailed that it is estimated that they moved about 50,000 cubic meters (m³) of material, which dragged the backhoe along with the worker, who has not been identified.

At the time of the accident, a ground movement was made in the upper part of the terrain, reported Bernardo Barboza, in charge of search operations by the fire department.

The stones, the earth and the trees that were moved also buried several containers that were in the part below and some five were dragged several meters.

Héctor Chaves, director of the Fire Department, said that 10 people specialized in rescue were transferred to the site, as well as the Canine Unit.

At the time when the material fell, another two workers accompanied the tractor driver, but these people, noticing the movement of land, ran. The witnesses said that the backhoe operator jumped from the equipment, but was lost in the dirt.

ILOILO CITY — Six families in the upland and far-flung village of Igcatambor, Miag-ao, Iloilo temporarily moved to an evacuation center over fears of possible landslides in the area.

Austria said some of these families, composed of more or less 30 individual residents, evacuated to the Igcatambor Elementary School while others decided to stay with their relatives in nearby villages.

He said they continue to monitor the area, along with other villages in their town. “The upland villages of our town are prone to landslide when there is rain, be it not really heavy but sustained or continuous rain,” he said.

Austria said personnel of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau 6 (Western Visayas) are expected to visit Igcatambor within the day to check the area where the ground cracks were found.

“They will clarify things out. They will check the situation and the possibility of landslide,” he added.
