A 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck parts of the Philippines. Video footage posted on social media showed water sloshing out of a hotel swimming pool, fixtures shaking in a hotel room and people evacuating via a staircase
MANILA, Philippines - A strong earthquake struck near the Philippine city of Davao on Sunday, killing a child, damaging buildings and causing several injuries, officials said, the latest in a series of tremors to strike the southern part of the country in recent months.
Vincent Fernandez, the mayor of Matanao town in Davao del Sur province, near the epicenter, told Radio DZMM that a six-year-old girl had died after a wall collapsed on her. The region was shaken by four powerful quakes in October and November, which together killed at least 20 people. “I saw the building when it fell,” Leighton Angcan, a resident of Padada told Reuters. It was the tallest here and it was really destroyed. I saw people running outside.”
