UPDATE. Landslides and other road slips gets worst with the continuous down pour of rains in the whole region that the access to withdraw the trapped families in the two (2) remaining barangays of St Bernard, Southern Leyte is hampered.

First Lieutenant Jerson Palawan, ground commander of the rescue units in St Bernard said that Brgy Tabon-tabon and Mahayag are still inaccessible at present due to several landslides and eroded mountains along the road.

He also said that evacuating the trapped families by land is not possible and only by air is feasible. Two (2) UH-1H helicopters of the Philippine Air Force are now being utilized to assist the rescue units in the ground in pulling out the trapped families to safer grounds.

46 families had been evacuated yesterday before the total closure of the roads and 291 individuals from above mentioned barangays were able to evacuate by air today and now in stable situation at St Bernard Central School.
