MANILA (AFP) – Two strong earthquakes jolted the southern Philippines on Tuesday, authorities said, with the second damaging buildings and forcing the evacuation of hundreds of villagers from their homes.
A 6.0-magnitude quake struck at about 2pm, a few kilometres from Maragusan municipality in the mountainous gold-mining province of Davao de Oro on Mindanao island, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said.
