This is the moment a terrified family fled their home as a magnitude 6.4 earthquake rocked their house in the Philippines.

CCTV footage shows the residents running outside with a child in tow while the strong tremors shook furniture and a Christmas tree in Bangued town, Abra province, yesterday (October 25).

Another clip shows the quake causing shelves to wobble in the family's grocery store nearby.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said the earthquake struck at a depth of 28 kilometres in Tineg, Abra at 10.59 pm local time.

The quake has triggered suspensions in school and government work in neighbouring Ilocos Norte province.

Local media has reported damage to infrastructure, but no casualties have been reported so far.

Abra province was also the epicentre of a devastating magnitude 7 earthquake that struck last July 27.

The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands inside the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where the majority of Earth's volcano eruptions and earthquakes happen.
