One of those rescued, a female landfill worker, died while being brought to a hospital, regional police director Brig Gen Roderick Maranan told The Associated Press, adding the rest survived with injuries.
Search and rescue efforts were continuing for the 27 missing, Maranan said, citing an initial police report.
Cebu City Mayor Nestor Archival said on Friday that at least 12 people have been rescued and 38 others remained missing. The reason for the different numbers of missing and rescued given by police and Archival was not immediately clear.
“All response teams remain fully engaged in search and retrieval efforts to locate the remaining missing persons with strict adherence to safety protocols,” Archival said in a statement posted on Facebook.
