DAVAO CITY---Residents in the mining villages of Masara and Mainit in Compostela Valley were ordered to evacuate after these were struck by twin landslides over the weekend that claimed the lives of 20 people, while 29 others were injured and six more were declared still missing.

According to Southern Mindanao regional police director Andres Caro II, the Mining and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) has recommended that Barangays Masara and Mainit should be immediately   abandoned and declared uninhabitable following the two massive landslides.

"The place is no longer suitable for people to live in," Caro said.

Over 350 families have reportedly been evacuated to safer grounds while several others opted to remain in the area despite the onslaught of boulders and mud due to incessant rains in the past few days.

MANILA (AP) -Two landslides triggered by heavy rains buried more than 20 houses in a remote gold-mining village in the southern Philippines, leaving at least 11 people dead and 19 others missing, officials said today.

Small stone houses and huts at the foot of the mountain village of Masara were destroyed Saturday by falling mud and rocks, killing six villagers and injuring 17 others. Another landslide struck the village early Sunday, killing five more people.

The landslides, which cascaded down a mountainside with frightening booms, buried about 28 houses and forced up to 5,000 people in Masara and nearby villages to run for their lives, said Mayor Voltaire Rimando.

Rimando said he declared a state of emergency in Masara, which he described as a "no man's land" because of the danger and the devastation, to allow the rapid release of disaster relief funds from the town's coffers.

Rimando said heavy rains made rescue work too dangerous Sunday, but rescuers resumed operations Monday.

Areas where many victims are believed still buried had not yet been reached because the soil was too watery, he said. "Hopefully the weather will cooperate," he added.

Provincial Governor Arturo Uy said he would request more expert rescuers from the national government and private groups, and enlist the help of geologists from two leading universities in Manila.

Army and police, backed by two air force helicopters and workers from a gold-mining company, battled heavy rains and mud to search for villagers reported buried, regional police Chief Andres Caro told The Associated Press by telephone.

Among the missing were Masara village chief Juvencio Anquera, who helped in the rescue work following the first landslide. He went missing with his two children when their house was hit by the second landslide Sunday, Caro said.

The landslides occurred in Compostela Valley province, about 520 miles (840 kilometers) southeast of Manila.
