The number of victims has risen to 5 as a result of the powerful earthquake that struck the southern part of the Philippines on Friday morning.
Authorities are racing against time to search for survivors under the rubble, as many people are still missing.
Dozens of people have been sent to hospitals, some in a serious state of health, which means that the death toll may increase further in the following hours.
The most serious situation from the strong shaking is presented in the city of General Santos, where several large buildings have also collapsed.
The Philippines was hit by a magnitude 6.7 earthquake on Friday, which was followed by several smaller aftershocks. (A2 Televizion)
