Rescue teams conduct search and rescue operations after an earthquake of magnitude 7 rocked the Abra region Philippines on Wednesday, triggering landslides and damage to infrastructure, in La Trinidad, Benguet province on July 27, 2022. "It was the most powerful quake I've felt and I thought the ground would open up," Brillantes told The Associated Press by cellphone.
"Some of the buildings here show cracks," police chief Major Nazareno Emia added."Power was cut off and internet as well." In a chilling near-death experience, Filipino photojournalist Harley Palangchao and companions were traveling downhill in two vans in Mountain Province when they suddenly heard thunder-like thuds and saw an avalanche of boulders as big as cars raining down just ahead of them from a towering mountain.
