Rescuers have searched the rubble of a collapsed building in the southern Philippine city of General Santos, the worst hit by a powerful earthquake that has killed at least 37 people and injured hundreds, to reach two people still believed to be trapped inside.
Regional fire officer Edgar Tanawan, who is leading the operation, told Reuters on Tuesday that two people had been pulled out alive from the commercial building, housing a grocery store and other businesses, but a third was found dead.
Scanners had detected no signs of life from the remaining two, he said.
