A 7.6-magnitude quake struck off the eastern coast of the Philippines late Friday, killing at least one person in a house collapse and setting off small tsunami waves about 0.1-foot-high. Most coastal residents fled to high ground and power was knocked out in several cities. (AP Photo/Aaron Favila)
