Fresh road slip blocks Davao-Mindanao arterial route
The collapse marks the latest incident along a stretch of highway repeatedly battered by heavy rainfall, soil subsidence and landslides.
Local officials and residents stand near caution tape inspecting a massive section of the Davao-Bukidnon Highway that collapsed near Purok 12 Falls in Barangay Buda, Davao City. A major landslide triggered by relentless southwest monsoon rains caused the road failure, prompting the Department of Public Works and Highways to declare the vital transport artery impassable while assessment and repairs get underway.
