The Philippine military said Friday rescuers have recovered 484 bodies from landslides and flash floods in an eastern province, bringing the toll from this week's powerful rainstorm to 527 people. At least 352 other people were still missing. The military's Chief of Staff Gen. Efren Abu said 306 people were confirmed dead in Real town, 47 in Infanta and 131 in General Nakar, all in the worst-hit Quezon province, east of Manila. Forty-three others died in five other provinces, according to officials. On Friday, rescuers struggled to reach scores of people left stranded by another powerful typhoon that sliced through the Philippines on the heels of the rainstorm. Typhoon Nanmadol swiped the same storm-hit northeast provinces _Quezon, Aurora, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur _ late Thursday forcing, nearly 170,000 people to flee homes to higher ground.
