Cebu City Mayor Nestor Archival said rescuers detected possible signs of life beneath the landfill.
He shared that equipment from Apex Mining showed indications that someone might still be alive under the debris.
Because of this, rescue efforts continue even though more than 72 hours have already passed.
Mayor Archival also explained that rescue operations picked up speed after new equipment arrived.
Earlier efforts were slow due to safety risks faced by responders at the site.
Department of Environment and Natural Resources Central Visayas issued a cease-and-desist order against Prime Integrated Waste Solutions Inc., operator of the landfill.
The order required the company to stop its operations following the landslide.
Prime Waste Solutions Cebu earlier said it is working closely with government agencies and the local government to help those affected by the incident.
The company confirmed that landfill operations have already been suspended.
The landfill operator added that it will provide updates once more information becomes available.
It also said the safety and well-being of employees, contractors, and nearby communities remain its top priority.

In an earlier local report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. CCTV footage showed three men entering the shop, closing the roll-up door, and then shooting the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even took a bag and a cellphone belonging to the victims. According to a report by Gary De Leon of TV5 Frontline Pilipinas, the family had started receiving threats after they lent ₱1 million to a resident of their barangay, who allegedly used the money for a business.
In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. Based on a report by EJ Gomez on Unang Balita, the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school’s faculty room. Police said the school had a security guard, but since the suspect was a familiar face, he was able to enter and leave easily. The suspect said he went there to talk to his wife and fix their problem, but it ended in a heated argument.
