Cellphone video shows the badly damaged exterior of a hotel in the southern Philippines after another strong earthquake struck the region.
The third strong earthquake this month killed one person, injured several others Thursday and destroyed buildings that were already damaged by the earlier shaking in a devastated southern Philippine region.
In Cotabato's city of Kidapawan, a small hotel partially collapsed, crushing the lobby and a bank on the ground floor and causing the building to lean on an adjacent hospital. Both the hotel and the hospital were ordered abandoned because of the previous quake damage but six employees and an engineer were inside Eva's Hotel when the ground shook at midmorning, Kidapawan Mayor Joseph Evangelista said.
In Davao city, President Rodrigo Duterte's hometown, a five-story condominium partly crashed down on its basement and rescue workers scrambled to bring out nine residents, one of whom was injured and brought to a hospital, officials said.
