A 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit the northern Philippines, damaging buildings and prompting many people in the capital to run outdoors.
The 7 magnitude quake was centered around Abra province in a mountainous area, said Renato Solidum, the head of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.
"It was the most powerful quake I've felt and I thought the ground would open up," Brillantes told The Associated Press by cellphone. Authorities were checking if damage or landslides had occurred in mountainside villages in the northern fringes of Abra, a landlocked agricultural province.
