MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): From a tropical storm, Agaton (international name: Megi) has weakened into a tropical depression, but not before heavy rains pounded parts of the Visayas and Mindanao, leaving at least 25 people dead and eight missing.
On Monday (April 11), authorities recovered the bodies of 22 people who were buried alive in three barangays in Baybay City, Leyte, a day after their houses were covered by mud and boulders loosened by incessant rainfall.
