Six days after the landslide that buried 50 houses and killed 68 people (confirmed as of noon of Monday), Zone 1 of Barangay Masara in Maco, Davao de Oro is now desolate. Its residents have been made to evacuate to safer areas in Maco and neighboring Mawab municipality. Only rescuers and uniformed men are in Barangay Masara to help secure the area and continue to find the 51 still missing and—hoping against all odds—survivors. (Manman Dejeto / MindaNews)
