Hundreds flee after three strong quakes strike Philippines

Hundreds of residents of coastal areas in a province south of the Philippine capital fled to higher ground fearing a tsunami Saturday after a series of earthquakes on the main island of Luzon.


Three quakes ranging in magnitude from 5.0 to 5.9 struck Batangas province, about 90 kms (55 miles) south of Manila, around 3 p.m. (0700 GMT) over a period of about 20 minutes, said the U.S. Geological Survey.
