At least four people died after a landfill collapsed in Binaliw, near Cebu city in the Philippines. The disaster happened around 4 pm on Thursday at a private landfill facility. Police said 34 workers remain missing and might be trapped under tons of waste. Cebu city mayor Nestor Archival said rescuers found signs of life beneath the debris and are waiting for a large crane to help with clearing. So far, twelve people have been rescued alive and taken to hospitals. Police captain Wilmer Castillo confirmed rescuers are rushing as voices were heard from under the rubble. About 300 personnel were deployed for the search and rescue efforts. Families are being gathered at holding areas for updates. Michelle Lumapas, whose brother works at the landfill, said, "They said those trapped are calling for help, so there is a possibility that my brother is still there." The collapse involved about 110 employees. A 22-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man have been confirmed dead, with two other victims yet unnamed. Authorities are probing the cause. Mayor Archival suggested the disaster may relate to ground instability after a 6.9-magnitude earthquake hit Cebu in September, combined with heavy rainfall that likely weakened the landfill's base. The landfill, run by Prime Waste Solutions Cebu, processes roughly 1,000 tonnes of garbage daily. The company did not immediately comment but suspended operations, working with government agencies. Officials are arranging alternative waste collection. This tragedy brings back memories of a 2000 landfill collapse in Manila’s Payatas that killed over 200 people during heavy rains.
