COTABATO, Philippines, Oct 28, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - The death toll from flash

floods and landslides ahead of a tropical storm in the southern Philippines
rose to 67 on Friday, an official tally said, with rescuers racing to save
residents of a mountain village buried in mud.

   The village of Kosiong near the town of Datu Odin Sinsuat accounted for
many of the dead after heavy overnight rain unleashed floods mixed with mud,
rocks and fallen trees that buried the community, said the area's civil
defence office in a statement.
