(UPDATE 4) The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said a high-magnitude quake has left at least one dead and several structures partially damaged, as Phivolcs lifts its local tsunami alert.
In its update 3, NDRRMC reports that a landslide that ensued after the quake in Cagayan de Oro left at least one dead and one injured. It identified the fatality as Emilita Ubalde, 50 years old. Five-year-old Adrian Ubalde was meanwhile injured.
At least five houses were partially damaged due to a flashflood in Barangay Tablon, Cagayan de Oro city, NDRRMC added.
