One Dead As Strong 6.4-Magnitude Earthquake Hits Philippines

A child was killed in a strong 6.4-magnitude quake that hit the southern Philippines on Wednesday, a local mayor said, as houses collapsed, power was knocked out and a shopping mall burst into flames.

“The child was crushed by a collapsed house wall” and pronounced dead in hospital, Limbungan said, adding that he had visited the medical facility and spoken to its director. “It was the most powerful earthquake I have ever experienced,” Sara Duterte, mayor of the largest Mindanao city of Davao and daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte, told local television.

In General Santos, television footage showed firemen battling a raging blaze that engulfed the three-storey Gaisano shopping mall.

RIP to the late person and also prayers for the injured.
