The police said Saturday that all six foreign hikers who went missing while hiking in a central Philippine volcanic mountain were found.



The male hikers, three German nationals aged 67, 60, and 58, a 38-year-old Russian, a 63-year-old British, and a 50-year-old Canadian, left at around 8 a.m. local time on Wednesday to climb the Mount Talinis, located southwest of Valencia, a town in the Negros Oriental province.



They were reported missing Thursday after they failed to return to their rental house.



Two hikers were rescued on Friday morning, while the rest were rescued on Saturday afternoon. The police said they are in stable health condition.



Mount Talinis is a complex volcano about 1,903 meters above sea level. It is the second-highest mountain on Negros Island after Mount Kanlaon, one of the country's 24 most active volcanoes.
