Philippines earthquake: Eight deaths reported on Luzon

A powerful earthquake has struck the main Philippines island of Luzon, killing at least 11 people.

The magnitude 6.1 tremor hit at 17:11 local time (09:11 GMT) on Monday, the Philippines Institute of Volcanology and Seismology reports.

An airport was seriously damaged and at least two buildings were destroyed.

Authorities fear dozens of people remain trapped underneath a collapsed building in the province of Pampanga, north-west of the capital Manila.

No doubt, 6.1 is strong but many places will survive it. I guess, it depends on epicenter, strength of structures and so on.
