Heavy accident marks disaster week in the Philippines

The Philippines have again been hit by a serious incident with many victims.

That happened near the place Agoo, about 200 kilometers south of the capital Manila.

Most of the dead fell in the minibus, which was rented by a family who was on their way to a Christmas celebration with other family members. It was already the third event this week with many deaths and injured in the country.

A day earlier, at a large fire in a shopping center in Davao, at least 37 people died. Earlier this week, at least two hundred people in the south of the Philippines were killed by a storm. Dozens of people are still missing. The fear is that the death toll will rise further as a result of the severe weather.
