Manila [Philippines], October 12: The death toll from twin earthquakes in the southern Philippines has risen to seven, with more than 300 injured, the national disaster agency and local officials said on Saturday. More than 200,000 people were affected by the 7.4- and 6.8-magnitude quakes which struck off Manay town in Davao Oriental province, about 1,000 kilometres south of Manila, 12 hours apart on Friday. The national disaster agency said three of the fatalities were reported in Mati City, including one woman who was pinned by a collapsed wall in her house. Two miners were reported dead in Pantukan town, while Davao City and the town of Tarragona each reported one dead. Most of the injured had trauma and bruises from being hit by debris, while many suffered hyperventilation and fainting, including students who were at school at the time of the first earthquake at 9:43 am (0143 GMT).
