Binaliw

Binaliw is a location within Cebu City, Philippines, that houses a waste management facility, specifically a landfill. It has recently become newsworthy due to a significant landfill collapse that occurred in January 2026. The collapse involved a large garbage mound giving way, burying workers and residents in the surrounding area. Initial reports indicated dozens missing, but subsequent search and rescue operations have recovered bodies, with the death toll rising to at least 28. While some individuals were rescued alive, the search continues for the remaining missing. The incident highlights the dangers associated with waste management facilities and raises concerns about safety protocols and the potential environmental and human impact of such disasters. The ongoing recovery efforts and investigations into the cause of the collapse maintain Binaliw's current relevance.
