A five-month-old baby died while his grandmother was injured after a landslide hit their house in Sitio Mundohill, Marilog Proper, Davao City morning on Thursday, May 8, 2025.
According to a report by GMA Super Radyo Davao, Barangay Marilog Proper chairwoman, Janeth Suam, said the baby died on the spot while his grandmother was brought to the hospital.
The baby’s mother survived but failed to save her child.
The village chief said authorities have long warned the parents and prohibited them from living in the area due to the danger and risk of landslides.
Rains over the past few days may have triggered the landslide.
Other members of the family are staying temporarily at a relative’s house.
The local government is set to provide them with the necessary assistance.
