7.1 magnitude earthquake hits the Philippines, 2 victims and dozens injured
Earthquake in the Philippines

The Philippines was rocked on Wednesday morning by an earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale.

As a result, at least two people lost their lives and dozens more were injured.

The shallow but powerful earthquake hit the mountainous and sparsely populated province of Abra on the main island of Luzon, the US Geological Survey said.

It triggered small landslides and damaged buildings and churches, while sending terrified crowds and hospital patients rushing outside.

The quake was felt strongly in the country's capital Manila, with the city's subway system halted during rush hour after the quake, the transport ministry said. The senate building in the capital was also evacuated.

A 25-year-old construction worker in La Trinidad, capital of landlocked Benguet province, died when the three-story building he was working on collapsed, police said.

Seven other employees escaped. Meanwhile, a villager died after being hit by falling cement slabs at his house in Abra, where at least 25 others were injured and mostly confined to hospitals, officials said.
