KIDAPAWAN CITY—At least 300 city government employees abruptly ended work 20 minutes earlier to rush to safety during a magnitude 4 quake that shook City Hall. “It was strong,” said one employee who ran quickly to an open space in front of City Hall. ADVERTISEMENTExcept for three offices where retrofitting work is still underway, most City Hall employees have returned to their spaces since Monday, Nov. 11. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology’s earthquake bulletin said the tremor was tectonic, and struck 12 kilometers east of Makilala town. It was felt at magnitude 5 in Kidapawan.
