3 dead, 7 missing in building downed by Philippine quake

Rescuers pulled out two bodies Monday from a three-story building that collapsed in a strong earthquake in the southern Philippines and scrambled to find at least seven more people who were trapped inside. Army troops, police, firefighters and volunteers, armed with sound and motion detectors, located a third body in the rubble of the building in Davao del Sur province's Padada town but could not immediately extricate the remains pinned in slabs of cement, Padada Mayor Pedro Caminero said. At least five people died in Sunday's magnitude 6.9 quake that struck Padada and outlying rural towns, cities and provinces in a region that has been battered by three deadly earthquakes in recent months.
