Continuous rains brought by tropical depression Ramil, triggered early morning on Thursday a landslide that killed one man in a village in Sangay, Camarines Sur, according to the head of the provincial Environment Disaster Management Response Office (Edmero). A resident of a different barangay (village) in the same town, also suffered minor injury as a result of another landslide, Bermeo said. The landslides have rendered the Sangay-Tiwi road, which links Camarines Sur and Albay provinces, still impassable for all types of vehicles. Tropical depression Ramil has intensified into a tropical storm while moving westward over the South China Sea, the state-run weather bureau said on late Wednesday. According to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), the storm was located at 365 kilometers west of Coron, Palawan.
