A magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck the Philippines today, prompting hospital patients to evacuate.

Footage shows locals at the Panabo Rivera Hospital in Davao del Norte province leaving the building after the tremors struck on March 7 afternoon.

Some people were seen walking down the stairs towards the exit, while others opted to remain seated in queue.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said the quake struck at 2:02 pm at a depth of 10 kilometres. It was centred some eight kilometres southeast of New Bataan municipality in Davao de Oro province.

The agency said damage and aftershocks were expected.

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.
