The children were at school when the tremor occurred. At a school on the island of Mindanao, the epicenter of the earthquake, students were taken to the courtyard. They were hunkered down during another tremor when the roof of the local gymnasium collapsed.
Images captured the moment (see the video above). Authorities have not confirmed whether anyone was hit by the collapsed roof. But the video also recorded the students' shouting and fearful expressions. Many of them cried and hugged their teachers.
The earthquake left 32 people dead and 129 injured, according to Manila authorities. The tremor occurred on Monday morning local time (Sunday night Brasília time) and was one of the strongest in recent Philippine history. Another video recorded the collapse of a building (see below).
7.8 magnitude earthquake hits Philippines and collapses buildings
Mindanao is the second largest island in the Philippines in terms of extension and is located in the south of the archipelago. It has 27.3 million inhabitants, which makes it the seventh most populous island in the world.
The country is part of the "Ring of Fire", a region of volcanoes and oceanic trenches that partially surround the Pacific Basin, and which is highly prone to seismic movements of great magnitude.
