A moderate earthquake of magnitude 5.9 hit the Philippines on Sunday, killing a woman and hurting 25 people, the Philippine seismic agency and a provincial governor said. The quake that hit the southern island of Mindanao was an aftershock of a 6.7 magnitude quake on Feb. 10, which killed four people and hurt more than 100, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said. The institute said Sunday's quake was of 5.9 magnitude. The U.S. Geological Survey said it was magnitude 5.7. Surigao del Norte Governor Sol Matugas said an elderly woman died of cardiac arrest while 25 people suffered minor injuries. Two homes collapsed and some properties damaged by last month's quake suffered more damage, she said in a radio interview.
