massive Philippine landslide<\/a> near a gold mine abruptly rose to 54, with the recovery of 19 more bodies from beneath the rubble in the southern mountain village of Masara on Sunday, local officials said.<\/p>\nSixty-three other miners and residents still missing, said the municipality of Maco, and provincial disaster official Randy Loy.<\/p>\n
The landslide buried a bus terminal for employees of a gold mining firm and 55 nearby houses on Tuesday night, leaving 35 people dead and 32 others injured.<\/p>\n
Rocks, mud and trees slid more than 700 metres down a steep mountainside near the Apex Mi\u00adning Co concession, burying a 22-acre section of the Masara community.<\/p>\n
A three-year-old girl was pulled alive from under the rubble on Friday, in what rescuers described as a \u201cmiracle\u201d.<\/p>\n
The authorities have vowed to continue the search until everyone listed as missing is recovered.<\/p>\n
Landslides are a frequent hazard across much of the archipelago nation due to the mountainous terrain, heavy rainfall and widespread deforestation from mining, slash-and-burn farming and illegal logging.<\/p>\n
