This is the terrifying moment a large landslide blocked off a road while motorists were driving along a hillside in the Philippines.

Resident Honey Feh said she was with her brother on her way to work when they saw the soil and rocks tumble onto Manipis Road in Cebu province, the Philippines on November 4.

She said: ‘It was like the end of the world. The rocks almost crushed us. Fortunately, no one was hurt.’

The Talisay government said the road will be closed for 10 days following the incident, which was caused by continuous heavy rain weakening the hillside.

Meanwhile, the local traffic department said motorists had previously been warned not to drive through the area, where clearing operations were ongoing after an earlier landslide last month.

The Philippines and other countries in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand are at the peak of their tropical monsoon rainy season, which lasts until late November. Soaring temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius are often followed by powerful tropical storms with thunder, lightning, rain and flash floods which cause rivers to flow faster and become dangerous.
