MANILA, Philippines (Updated 2:53 p.m.) — The magnitude-7.0 quake that hit Abra on Wednesday morning has left four dead and 60 others injured, Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos said in a press briefing at Malacañang.

 

Of the four deaths, two of them were recorded in Benguet, one in Abra and one in Mountain Province, Abalos said. Upon clarification by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Abalos said the four died in landslides.

 

Earlier, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council reported that it is verifying the reported death of a construction worker who got trapped under fallen debris in La Trinidad, Benguet, although the office of Rep. Eric Go Yap sent reporters photos of the incident, saying the death was confirmed.
