PHA new landslide in Damulog, Bukidnon, has disrupted the alternative route connecting Bukidnon to the Davao Region, prompting authorities to implement alternating vehicle usage on the damaged highway. The disaster risk reduction management office reported a 100-meter crack caused by heavy rains, leading to a temporary closure before allowing limited traffic. This follows previous landslides that have partially closed other roads, forcing cargo trucks to take longer detours. The Department of Economy, Planning, and Development warns that frequent road closures are causing significant financial strain on Mindanao's transport and cargo industries, citing past incidents like the P187 million in daily losses from a similar landslide last year.
