A strong 6.9-magnitude offshore earthquake struck the central Philippines, sending residents fleeing into the streets, knocking out power and prompting a tsunami warning for Cebu and nearby provinces.
In Bogo, the quake damaged concrete walls of houses, a fire station and concrete and asphalt roads, firefighter Rey Cañete said.
He and fellow firefighters provided first-aid to at least three residents, who were injured by falling debris and collapsed walls.
Teresito Bacolcol, director of the institute, said the tsunami warning was later lifted with no unusual waves being monitored.
