		</div><p>The death toll in a powerful earthquake that hit the central Philippines late on Tuesday has risen to 72 with nearly 300 others injured.</p>
<p>Filipino seismologists say the earthquake in the Bogo area of Cebu province was triggered by a shallow undersea fault line that has not moved for at least 400 years.</p>
<p>More than 170,000 people were affected, including many who have refused to return home because they were traumatised and fearful of aftershocks, officials said.</p>

<p>The earthquake damaged or destroyed 87 buildings and nearly 600 houses in Bogo, a relatively new and progressive coastal city of about 90,000, and outlying towns.</p>
<p>Bridges and concrete roads were damaged and a seaport collapsed.</p>
<p>President Ferdinand Marcos Jr flew to Bogo on Thursday to assess the damage and offer aid to survivors while mourning with families of the victims.</p>
<p>Bryan Sinangote was watching a basketball game with fewer than 100 spectators in San Remigio town, just outside Bogo when the quake hit.</p>
<p>The 49-year-old driver said everybody froze until the up-and down shaking became intense and then they dashed out of the gym in panic.</p>
<p>A ceiling collapsed, killing three coast guard personnel and a firefighter.</p>
<p>Mr Sinangote said he tried to roll away but was partly trapped and suffered face and arm injuries.</p>
<p>“It’s heartbreaking to hear what happened to Bogo city,” Mr Sinangote said, adding that Filipinos have no option but to learn to live side by side with calamities.</p>
<p>“After Typhoon Haiyan destroyed my house, I built it back in one year. We just have to be prepared for anything.”</p>
