Philippines hit by second quake in two days

A second earthquake has hit the Philippines as rescuers found more bodies in the rubble of a supermarket that crashed down in a powerful tremor in the country a day earlier.

The US Geological Survey said the magnitude 6.3 quake hit the central Philippines, a day after the 6.1 quake hit the country’s north.

The death toll from the first quake rose to 11 as the bodies of four victims were pulled from Chuzon Supermarket and three other villagers died due to collapsed house walls.

Red Cross volunteers, army troops, police and villagers used four cranes, crow bars and sniffer dogs to look for the missing, some of whom were still yelling for help on Monday night.

Yesterday morning, rescuers pulled out a man alive, sparking cheers.
