BAGUIO CITY — Government geologists have declared a section of the mining town of Mankayan in Benguet a danger zone to speed up the relocation of communities endangered by a June 5 landslide that has continued to eat through the town center.
Several buildings at the Mankayan High School grounds in Barangay (village)Aurora-Poblacion caved in on June 5 due to a slide that some geologists had predicted after a massive slide hit Barangay Colalo on July 26, 1999.
