Typhoon Bopha kills more than 300 in Philippines

Manila: The death toll from Typhoon Bopha climbed to more than 300 people on Wednesday, while scores of others remain missing in the worst-hit areas of the southern Philippines.

At least 43 people died when torrents of water rampaged down a mountain in New Bataan town in Compostela Valley province and engulfed a school and village hall where people were taking shelter from the storm. Nine soldiers and an unspecified number of villages were missing, army Maj. Gen. Ariel Bernardo told The Associated Press.

Six villagers drowned in floods in Montevista town, Compostela Valley provincial spokeswoman Fe Maestre said.



In nearby Davao Oriental province, 51 people died, mostly in floods, while two men perished when fierce wind ripped their boat from its mooring and it sank on central Siquijor island, according to disaster-response officials.
