Heavy rains from Typhoon Inday (international name: Bavi) and the enhanced southwest monsoon trigger separate landslides in Mindanao, leaving at least 13 people dead and eight others missing, according to multiple reports. The incidents occur on Friday across parts of the Bangsamoro region and neighboring provinces, where flooding also affects more than 18,000 families. One account describes a pre-dawn landslide that buries two houses, while other reports note that landslides also block roads. A subsequent update indicates the toll in Mindanao rises to 18 fatalities, with 14 people still missing as of Saturday. Reported deaths include nine in Malapatan, Sarangani; seven in Calanogas, Lanao del Sur; and two in Bukidnon. Missing persons are listed in Davao Occidental, Malapatan, Sarangani, and Calanogas, Lanao del Sur. Across the reports, the common factors are ongoing rainfall, landslides, and flash flooding that inundate low-lying areas and disrupt transport. Authorities continue assessing damage as rains persist into Saturday.
