A total of 1,126 people perished from the 2006 rockslide-debris avalanche.
Included in the list of fatalities were more than 240 school children, and their school teachers. When the landslide struck Barangay Guinsaugon at around 10 a.m. on Feb. 17, 2006,  classes were ongoing.  
Around 80 women were also believed to be trapped inside the barangay hall as they celebrated the fifth anniversary of the Guinsaugon Women’s Health Association.
The more than two weeks of continuous heavy rains triggered the  landslide, which originated within the damage zone of the Philippine Fault.
After more than 30 minutes, the rockslide-debris avalanche was eventually followed by a 2.6-magnitude earthquake.
