MANILA - At least eight people were killed when a magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck the Philippines’ main island of Luzon on Monday and officials feared dozens could be trapped in the rubble of a collapsed commercial building.
The province of Pampanga was worst hit. Eight people were killed and about 20 injured, provincial governor Lilia Pineda said by telephone, citing information from disaster officials. Pampanga’s international airport at Clark, a former U.S. military base, was closed and scores of flights were canceled after damage to parts of the facility including check-in areas.Rescue teams in Manila were preparing to reinforce efforts to reach people trapped in Pampanga. The government urged people to be calm as rumors of greater death and destruction gained traction online.
