Talisay City
CEBU CITY, Philippines — Two brothers were hurt after they were hit by landslide in Barangay  Manipis, Talisay City, in southern Cebu past 10 p.m. on Monday.
Village chief Emma Cabiluna said the two men were heading home from work on board a motorcycle when hit by falling rocks.
They were taken to the Talisay City District Hospital by another motorist.
Cabiluna said many residents of Barangay Camp 7 in Minglanilla town, and Barangay Biga in Cebu City drive through Manipis to and from work.
Last Saturday, another landslide reportedly occurred in the area following heavy rain Friday night.
The road was immediately cleared after the landslide but Cabiluna said she set up a road block near the barangay hall of Camp 7 to warn motorists of more possible rock fall.
Cabiluna said soil and some rocks continued to erode from the mountain top.
