GUINSAUGON, Philippines (Reuters) - Hunting for bodies and burying the dead resumes in the central Philippines on Monday, with rescuers holding out little hope for survivors in a village of 1,800 entombed by a collapsed mountainside. 

Search teams battling deep, shifting mud and steady rain have focused on a school packed with more than 250 children and staff when Friday's landslide engulfed Guinsaugon, a farming community in Southern Leyte province.
