A woman and her three children were injured when they were hit by a falling wall. https://apnews.com/article/278e9f4888af935ccd3a9cd2b2cc5037 Earthquake Injures 4 In The Philippines Associated Press June 20, 1988 March 8, 2022 live https://web.archive.org/web/20220308115018/https://apnews.com/article/278e9f4888af935ccd3a9cd2b2cc5037 March 8, 2022 See also List of earthquakes in 1988 List of earthquakes in the Philippines 1994 Mindoro earthquake References Category:1988 disasters in the Philippines Category:1988 earthquakes Category:Earthquakes in the Philippines Category:1988 in the Philippines Category:History of Occidental Mindoro
