The death toll from a 6.9-magnitude earthquake in Davao del Sur rose to 11, disaster response officials said Wednesday night.

However, the mass was held in a nearby gymnasium, as the Catholic residents’ place of worship in Padada – the 66-year-old Saint Michael’s Parish – suffered damage from three earlier quakes that hit Mindanao in the last two months. It was the powerful 6.9-magnitude quake that caused the most damage to the structure.

Parish priest Fr. Jupiter Canoy told CNN Philippines they will wait for the structural engineers’ advice on what to do next with the church.Paolo Barcelon and Catherine A. Modesto contributed to this report
