Workers unearthed more bodies Saturday in the northern Philippines, where floods and landslides caused by typhoon Parma have killed almost 299 people. Officials say the death toll continues to rise and many people are still missing. The latest fatalities include firefighters who were involved in rescue operations. Two weeks of killer storms have resulted in the deaths of at least 636 people in a large swathe of Luzon, with more than 300,000 still crammed into makeshift evacuation centers in many parts of Metro Manila.
