MANILA: At least 15 people were killed Tuesday as torrential rains triggered a landslide and widespread flooding in the Philippine capital Manila and nearby areas, officials said.
The bodies of nine members of one family were pulled from the earth after a landslide buried four houses in a northern Manila slum, said Darius Ramos, a district watchman who was monitoring the rescue effort.
He said four people were rescued alive from the rubble.
