A landslide at a Cebu City landfill killed at least one and left 27 missing after heavy rains.
On January 8, 2026, a landslide caused by heavy rains at a landfill in Binaliw, Cebu City, Philippines, resulted in at least one fatality, multiple injuries, and at least 27 missing persons.
In order to retrieve victims from the debris that buried a waste sorting warehouse, rescue teams—which included emergency responders and heavy machinery—worked.
The persistent uncertainty is highlighted by disparities in reported numbers, which range from 12 to 38 missing.
Because of its unstable terrain and close proximity to residential areas, the landfill, which is an open dump with a mountain-like structure, has long raised safety concerns.
In the face of increased scrutiny over hazardous landfill operations, officials are still looking into the cause and advocating for long-term waste management reforms.
