Red wine glasses shook as a powerful earthquake that killed a pregnant woman rocked a bar in the Philippines.

Dramatic footage shows locals screaming and hiding under tables as the tremor jolted the building in Tagum City, Davao del Norte, on December 2 evening.

Local Glenn Ambasan said: 'We were just recording ourselves having drinks when we suddenly felt the ground shaking. It happened a few seconds after we finished pouring our wine and so I continued to record everything that happened afterwards.

'We are all safe. All the guest in the hotel are safe. We used the stairs to evacuate the building since we are on the eighth floor.'

The 7.4 magnitude quake struck off Surigao del Sur province at a depth of 26 kilometres at 10:37 pm local time, Philippine seismological agency PHIVOLCS reported. It triggered tsunami warnings that were later lifted.

Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr. said in a Sunday press conference that at least one person - a pregnant woman in Davao del Norte province - had died during the quake. Four others were injured, nine were missing, and around 2,600 were affected.

The quake comes two weeks after another powerful tremor shook Sarangani province, also on Mindanao island, on November 17, killing at least 11 people.

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.
