https://tribune.net.ph/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/quake1.mp4 The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) has released the names of the 17 fatalities in the magnitude 6.6 and 6.5 earthquakes that hit parts of Mindanao on Tuesday and Thursday.

The names do not include those of the five persons said to have been killed in the magnitude 5.5 and 5.0 earthquakes on Friday, All-Saints’ Day.

Fourteen deaths were recorded in Region XII while the dead remained at three in Region XI. The fatalities were identified as follows:

Davao del Sur — Jessie Riel Parba (not Jesriel Pabra as earlier reported), Benita B. Saban, Romulo Naraga

South Cotabato — Nestor Narciso, Marcelo Tare;

Cotabato — Samuel Linao Andy (previously reported as Angel Andy), Renee Corpuz (previously reported as Rene Boy Andy), Marichelle Morla, Patricio Lumayon, Pao Zailon Abdulah, Isidro Gomez, Cesar Benjie Bangot (previously reported as Cesar Bangot), Romel Galicia, Priscilla Varona (previously reported as Precilla Verona), Juve Gabriel Jaoud (previously reported as Juve Gabriel Jauod), Tessie Alacayde (previously reported as Tessie Alcayde);

The number of injured persons was reduced from the previous 403 to 307 while two persons have remained missing.

The NDRRMC said 13 of the 18 local government units (LGU) in Cotabato were experiencing intermittent power outage, while 12 LGU in Sultan Kudarat remained without power as of 3 p.m. of Friday.

The Philippines suffers regular tremors as part of the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, an arc of intense seismic activity that stretches from Japan through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin.

In the 6.6 magnitude quake on Tuesday, a teenage boy was crushed by a falling wall as he tried to escape his school in Magsaysay, the town spokesman told Agence France-Presse.

Rock and landslides unleashed by the violent shaking killed four others, while a collapsing wall crushed a man, authorities said.

Nearly 400 people were hurt, including some seven pupils and teachers hurt escaping their crumbling elementary school.

The area was still suffering the effects of a 6.4-magnitude quake that hit less than two weeks ago, killing at least five people and damaging dozens of buildings.

Residents fled homes across the Mindanao region and a mall caught fire in the city of General Santos shortly after the quake struck on October 16.

Hundreds of people were still displaced two weeks after that quake when the second one struck earlier this week, forcing thousands more from their homes.

One of the deadliest quakes to hit the Philippines recently was in April, when 16 people were killed as a building near the capital Manila collapsed and the secondary Clark airport was shut down after damage to the passenger terminal.

High-rise structures in the capital swayed after the April quake, leaving some with large cracks in their walls.
