Two more workers buried in a mountain of garbage at the Rizal Provincial Sanitary Landfill last Friday were identified Thursday morning, authorities said.
Calabarzon Police director Chief Superintendent Benito Estipona identified the victims as Eddie Malano and Rubidico Olog.
Malano, whose body was found at around 3:30 a.m., was identified through the motorcycle key in his pocket, according to Estipona and Dennis Taguno of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) rescue team.
Authorities said only half of Malano's body or his lower extremity was recovered. The other half of his body has yet to be found.
The body of Olog, meanwhile, was found at 9:15 a.m.
On Wednesday morning, the rescue team recovered the body of Garry Balahibo inside the backhoe that was also buried in last Friday's accident.
Balahibo was the operator of the backhoe.
Search and retrieval operations are still ongoing for Pablito Esto, also a landfill worker who went missing after the garbage dump collapsed.
The victims were conducting clearing operations for draining water in the area when the incident occurred on Friday.
