The Office of Civil Defence in Manila says it has now received reports that at least 69 people have been killed in the quake.

OCD deputy administrator Bernardo Alejandro said 30 of the deaths are from Bogo City, which was closest to the epicentre of last night's quake.

There were 22 deaths in San Remigio, 10 in Medellin, five in Tubogon and one each in Sogod and Tabuelan towns, he said, adding the numbers are subject to further validation.

Its was not immediately clear how many people are missing, but rescuers are sifting through rubble of collapsed structures, mindful of the 24-hour window where finding survivors is most likely, he said.
