The tremors hit early yesterday in the province of Batanes, a group of sparsely populated islets north of the nation’s largest Luzon island, toppling buildings and leaving deep cracks in roads.
Many people were still asleep when the first tremor struck around 4.15am, followed just under four hours later by a second, stronger jolt.Mayor Raul de Sagon said that eight people had been killed and around 60 others were hurt. The extent of their injuries was not immediately clear. Police sergeant Uzi Villa added that the timing of the quake meant many people were at home when the first tremor struck.“Some people died because they were sleeping soundly since it was still early,” he added.
