At least 37 people were killed and about 500 others injured after a magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck the southern Philippines on June 8. According to the Philippines' Office of Civil Defense, the fatalities were caused by earthquake-triggered landslides, drowning and injuries sustained from falling or collapsing debris. In Sarangani Province, 14 people died when a landslide buried their homes at the foot of a mountain.
