The video circulating online showed a structure visibly affected by the violent shaking, eventually giving way as the earthquake’s force intensified. While the post did not immediately provide further details regarding possible injuries or the extent of damage inside the building, it drew concern from netizens who watched the footage.

The footage was captured by a person named Dave Lim who captures the video of the building collapsing. Some Jollibee staff are seen in the video of Dave far away from the building thus preventing any possible casualty.

Authorities are expected to assess the structural integrity of surrounding buildings in the area following the strong quake. Emergency response teams are also anticipated to conduct inspections and verify reports of damage as aftershocks remain a concern.

Residents in nearby areas reported feeling strong shaking, prompting some to evacuate buildings as a precaution. The earthquake has since become a major topic online, with users expressing shock over the reported collapse and the strength of the tremor.

In another report, a motorcycle rider voluntarily surrendered to authorities on Wednesday following a fatal road accident involving a 67-year-old pedestrian. Police said the rider was initially unable to report to authorities immediately as he also sustained injuries from the incident, which required medical attention. The rider has since taken responsibility for what happened and cooperated with investigators. Authorities noted that based on initial findings, the elderly victim appeared to have looked both ways before crossing the road, while the motorcycle was allegedly moving at a high speed during rainy weather, which may have contributed to the collision.

Meanwhile, a same-gender couple successfully exchanged vows during a private beachside ceremony held in a scenic coastal province. The officiating minister, a pastor from Let God Be Thy Savior Christian Church, clarified that while the union is not legally recognized by the state, it is considered valid within their church’s spiritual framework. The religious group also issued an official institutional certificate recognizing the couple’s union for their shared commitment. This documentation was noted to provide practical support in matters such as joint financial arrangements and international travel visa applications.
