Officials in the Philippines say at five people were killed in a series of recent landslides in the country's south.

Office of Civil Defense Chief Benito Ramos says two children were found dead Tuesday near Valencia city in southern Bukidnon province after a landslide buried several houses in the area a day earlier.

Officials say altogether at least five people were killed and 10 are missing.

The landslides were caused by days of heavy rain in the province.
