CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Mines and Geosciences Bureau in Central Visayas (MGB-7) has recommended the transfer of residents away from the landslide-affected area in Sitio Upper Cantipla, in Barangay Sudlon... CDNDigital
MGB-7’s recommendation was contained in a landslide threat advisory that it sent to Barangay Captain Priscillo Alborez on Tuesday, June 27.
Luckily, no one was hurt since residents in the area were already evacuated to a safe place before loose soil started to fall. The agency said that the landslide-affected area in Sitio Upper Cantipla now has a very steep to almost vertical slope which makes it “highly susceptible” to the occurrence of another landslide in the days to come.
In a separate interview, Guardo said that the area was not meant for the construction of concrete structures.
