MANILA - The number of people killed in floods triggered by a storm in the southern Philippines has risen above 1,000, the civil defence chief told AFP on Wednesday.
"I expect that (the death toll) will go up because there are still many missing," said Benito Ramos of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, as he announced that rescuers had recovered 1,002 bodies.
