According to the army officer heading the rescue and search operation, a major chunk of the missing people are reported from within the areas of La Libertad town and Guihulngan City in the province of Negros Oriental. The land sliding leveled about a hundred houses from two villages.

The president of Philippines, Benigno Aquino spent his 52nd birthday in the province of Negros Oriental which was hit by the quake and is facing destruction at a large scale. The president spent the day there showing support and offering a helping hand to the victims and praying for the dead.
